As long as workers don't completely drop out of the applicable career, this all offsets in the long run anyway. Company A might pay for an employee's clearance only to have them leave for B, but then A can do the same to company C who then does it to B and so on.
That's a nice justification, kind of like how people rob stores and it's okay because stores have insurance, but that doesn't address what's fair or right.
You can say that over enough time it'll average out, but you can't innovate with average talent; you need to invest in exceptional talent and if there's no return on that investment nobody can do it.
An innovative startup can't poach from "Company A" because it's full of mediocre talent. Company A will only invest in people who Company B won't even bother with. Without non-compete you only get this mediocrity. The first company only invests the money in people who are too staid to leave even for more money.
They don't poach people from the 100k employee corps because those people can't innovate; instead they pay to get smart people clearances and then that investment is protected by non-compete.

Changing jobs isn't robbing. Holy shit, LMAO. How is your startup going to poach people under non-competes?

I never said anything about the size of the company. You can't poach people who are under a non-compete so where is the poaching to happen?
