Had a friend in a similar situation at start of his career.
He saw no problem until he found out he was making 50% what peers from other companies did
He couldn't leave without paying out the 'trainings' or waiting for them to expire after 2 years (which were unnecessary, very poor quality and extremely overpriced - 5000-10000$ for a 3-5 day java course done by people within the company at no cost to company...)
He wouldn't get any raises if he didn't accept further expensive trainings.
Doing any new trainings renewed existing debt too... because why not.
Eventually, after 3-4 years, he manned up, told them to pound salt, got a lawyer and ended up convincing a huge chunk of his team to also leave.
- _8j50 4y agoDid he know about lack of promotions dependent on more trainings when he first signed the agreement? If not, I can see how that is deceptive and fraudulent on the company's behalf.
- adriancr 4y agoYou don't see how mandatory internal trainings with cost associated to them are predatory/fraudulent? And no, of course he did not know, do you think a company such as that advertises that they are taking advantage of you?
- _8j50 4y agoYes, many advertise and I accepted that risk before. If they hide it or trick people that should be criminal fraud not just civil lawsuit.
