It's not their responsibility but I do believe from a market standpoint that you get what you pay for. If you run a company and have virtually no interest in cultivating your employees don't expect them to want to help you grow in kind. This may be an exaggeration on my part, but don't expect mercenaries to act like knights when you don't treat them as such. Any company that doesn't have opportunities for engineers or other high skills-based employees to grow will see a higher turnover rate than their competitors unless they pay a lot more. Funny enough, high paying companies invest a lot into their employee's growth.
