So you're saying you can get free training then just leave for a real paying company eh

I imagine they have some absurd contract that says they can't leave for 89 years or whatever

And I'd like to see that contract hold up in court lol

The trick to exploiting people is keeping them in fear and ignorance.

There are some court cases going on right now about this type of thing. Generally, the payback is only allowed to be for the real cost of training, and only for a few years. So that 60k salary for 3 years is also the right amount to make you worth 150k anywhere else.
