the first slide says "training and mentoring your staff is incredibly valuable"
the second slide says "effective training requires job security"

for my talk I simply alternate between the two slides for 10 minutes

btw, for posterity:
Effective training requires job security because:

  • Training is an investment. If you have high churn that investment leaves
  • To get people to spend time on training they have to feel like they won't be fired for "not doing real work"
  • To get people to truly learn things they have to be able to dedicate time to fucking up without feeling like it's going to reflect on them
  • To get people to truly teach things they can't feel incentivized to hold back under the idea that the person they're training might become their lower-paid replacement
