Yeah, but I mean if you are fully qualified for the job and the company is being run efficiently, and there are no projects that have nasty extra demands/complaints that deviate from the norm and the skillset of the company. Why need tertiary skills aside from your boss having a sense of humor "yOU sHoUlD leARN thIS, i pAy yoU tO lEaRN"?

Unless you caught me learning something so remote from my core work, so much work for little improvement margin, then you've got every right to question me.

Besides, what I have been mentioning are NOT tertiary skills; they are becoming primary skills, but no one actually wants to admit that. It is a constant reminder to your superior that they can't elevate you even if they want to.

It sounds to me you are talking about a cultural problem called conformity and KPI tunnel vision. Sometimes it becomes so stiff that even working efficiently requires permission because someone is adverse to change.
