Your employer should expect some on-the-job learning and discovery. Especially with new technology (like containers).
We are human beings and while some could program all day and night, others have children, family and friends to engage with or hobbies to pursue. There shouldn't be an expectation that you learn everything you need for work outside of work.
One point I think you touched on, but I want to explicitly call out: keep an open mind
When expose to a new concept, idea, practice, tool, or technology, even if you have reservations, try it out. Especially if it has come up at work as an option or potential path for a project. Getting some hands-on experience and understanding could be helpful in building up your argument against adopting it. Or it could convince you that it has worth.
