If the onboarding contract specifies repayment in cases of termination before a specific date, I assume the employee would be out of luck. Without that contingency covered, the next logical step would be performing poorly enough to get terminated.
Thank you for the clarity on that. I forgot that right to work means you can’t be compelled to join a union when your workplace is unionized.
100% agree with you. That’s what college degrees were for, specialized education in a specific area of interest so you could enter the work force with minimal training, and we already pay out the nose for them in the USA. The article uses nursing jobs as an example. RNs in the USA get a bachelor’s which mandates on the job training to get the degree, and pass a licensing exam. The notion that a hospital has to do that much more additional training outside of the software they use for charting, pharmacy orders and communications is laughable.
This is one of the reasons why job hopping in this day and age is a thing, and people in right to work states at-will states bounce with no notice. A pension was something that gave an employee an incentive to be loyal to the company and have a vested interest in seeing the company succeed. Lately employers are barely matching 401K/Roth contributions if they even do it at all. Employer sponsored medical coverage is another form of golden handcuffs if the coverage is comprehensive and low cost for the employee.
I know I can get paid 20K more doing what I do in private industry, but my state job gives me insurance without a deductible that I pay $12 a month for, plus eligibility for a pension after 5 years of work, plus 4 weeks of vacation in a year. (With the health insurance I trade back 8 days of vacation time for a $110 discount on the premium.) Every time I think about making more money, all of those other perks make me decide I would rather keep the lower paying job I have. When I crunch the numbers of what my vacation time would be worth, plus the full COBRA price for my insurance premium, those benefits are already worth more than 20K. I don’t feel trapped, because I like my work and boss, but I can see how other people might make the choice to keep a job they hate when the benefits are amazing or better than what the current job market offers.
I agree with this point. My org has tuition reimbursement. The caveat are you have to have worked at least part time with the organization for a year before you are eligible, you pay for the class upfront with a max reimbursement of $1000 per semester, you take classes from an accredited college that confers degrees, you stay employed while you take the class, you pass the class with a C, and you are still employed with the org when you get reimbursed. We have lots of young people that already have an associates or bachelors degree working for us, and I like to show them this program as a path for slowly working towards a more advanced degree. Once you get the reimbursement each semester, there is no obligation to keep working for the organization. It’s a perk we give employees that can sometimes benefit the employer.
Yup, malicious compliance. Be incompetent enough on the job so your employer fires you, potentially negating the TRAP clause.
Clutches pearls B-b-but what about the shareholders.
I’m proud of you!
L of the LGBT here. I am also scared. Also, BP but stable with meds.
I bet tons of Trumpers would tell me I’m full of shit and stuff like that will never happen, fake news; so I guess it would be a shit post for them.
I gochu fam:
Yeah, they will never address the root causes of homelessness. The homeless are used as boogeymen for the lower and middle class working plebs.
Cue the village people 🎵 Taco taco man 🎵

I haven’t seen this. Name and shame this place?
Today I learned about sub orders! Feliformia (cat-like carnivores) and Caniformia (dog-like carnivores) are distinguished by several anatomical features, primarily related to skull and dental structure, as well as locomotion. Feliforms typically have shorter snouts, fewer teeth, and more specialized carnassials (teeth used for shearing meat). They also possess a double-chambered auditory bulla (a bony enclosure around the middle ear). Caniforms, on the other hand, tend to have longer snouts, more teeth (often with less specialized carnassials), and less specialized claws (often non-retractile). They are also more likely to be omnivorous. However in this instance ferrets are obligate carnivores the way cats are.
That girl there, Daisy, she was a bedtime cuddler. She would climb into bed with me, tunnel under the covers, and sleep next to my feet and legs every night. She was also a light sleeper, and the moment she heard my key in the door after work, she would run to the door and be waiting there for me. Her brother, George, was a day cuddler. He would let you pick him up, snuggle him, and then he would just give you so many kisses. He liked to climb into the hood of my hoodie and just fall asleep in it while I went about my day.

Those that are unemployed and looking for work absolutely have the right to complain about the economy with the rest of us.
