They´ll be leaving soon too, as soon as their bond is up... Sad it is...
It is sad if they have to stay because they cannot afford to pay out the bond. Management must be very happy with how their bond is working.
The company heads say the
new bond reflects the more accurate cost of training but in fact it reflects the need to stretch the bond over a longer period to keep people like your friends bonded here a little longer after the thin layer of polish wears off and exposes the dog turd underneath.
The lesson being that unless convinced of the move, new joiners should budget well in advance a wad of cash to pay out the bond if necessary after they come here.
