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

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

        Oh, no, educated workers who don’t want to be taken advantage of and know their worth, maybe companies should value their employees if you want company loyalty.

    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.
