What if the company pays 100k for your extra education in some specific niche field, and you then quit and get a 50k starting bonus at a competing company, that doesn't have to invest 100k for your education?
- idiotsecant 3y agoWhat if I spend 100k moving across the country and the company decides to fire me? The answer is the same.
- hedora 3y agoHow would you know what specialized education the next employer needs? Also, that assumes that classes are equivalent to on the job training. I guess you could get a job in the non-compete window, but only be trained by the next employer while the previous one paid. That seems complicated and silly though.
- ghaff 3y agoCompanies do often have strings attached to paying for training/certifications/relocation. That doesn't require a non-compete.
- emidln 3y agoThis is the risk they take in exchange for being able to fire me at will.
- piloto_ciego 3y agoI mean, that’s on them right? What these companies want is free market workers without the risk of having to provide a reason to stay at a place.

- polski-g 3y agoSaid company should have you sign a contract promising to pay back that $100k if you quit within X years.
