A wise person once said "It's all about relationships.........and the money!!"
Probably in that order too.
Whomever that person was, was a wise person indeed.... Employers want a fair and equitable system to cover costs of doing business, well I'm sure many will agree that the continual revolving door of initial training costs shouldn't be being paid for by the employees who are/were planning on staying quite a bit longer, however the reality is that they are bearing (and will continue to do so at the behest of their employer) those costs by way of lower T&C's....
I once worked for a well known (and well paying) northern based Metro operator. I went in with my own endorsement, needed to leave (unforseen personal reasons) about four months later, so made an appointment and saw the M.D of the operation, looked him in the eye and asked him what I owed him for the extra costs of the training he had spent on me.... Let's just say he was rather taken aback....
.... And nobody likes being lied to, carrots dangled or taken for a fool....
Back into the ether now Ops....
