When is it time to leave your job? This CEO says it's when they won't do this

One of the biggest issues facing the labor market right now is the job skill divide, Cornerstone OnDemand founder and CEO Adam Miller told FOX Business' Liz Claman on Friday.
However, Miller said if your company isn't willing to train you on those skills, "you should maybe find a different company to work for" since the current labor market is tight.

"We're seeing a dramatic difference between employees that have skills and employees that don't," Miller said.
But if you're determined to stay at your company, then, according to Miller, you have to learn the skills no matter what.
