When it comes down to it, the time a worker can dedicate to their own learning is zero.
Companies are built on Parkinson's law: the amount of work expands to fill all the time available. This is true for people who work in production, for people who work at a desk, for people who work on the move and for people who don't have a desk at all.
So the time dedicated to your own upskilling and reskilling is always a sacrifice. It can be a sacrifice for your employer, because it loses productivity and costs go up. It can be your sacrifice, because to keep productivity high you give up your private time. Or it can be a sacrifice that falls on your customers: think of a salesperson, the time spent learning is time not spent with customers.
What typically happens is that learning slips to second place, or third, fourth, fifth.
