I had to google the beanbag line.
From a good friend's letter she shared with me:
At xxx’s discretion, if you are terminated or voluntarily resign before completing one year service from the completion date of training, you will be required to reimburse xxx a pro-rated share of costs expended for training and associated travel expenses on your behalf. This reimbursement provision shall be effective for twelve months from completion of formal training. By signing this agreement, the employee grants xxx permission to deduct those reimbursement monies due at the time of your resignation from any wages yet unpaid.
We will also be really, really ****ed. Especially if you have no wages due at the time of your resignation. And while we maintain our stance on being really, really ****ed, we often do not follow through on this provision. Not because we are not ****ed, oh no girlfriend don't go there, it is because we get distracted. Which has the same root as discretion, which comes from the latin word dis, which means if you don't dis us we may be more distracted than not.
Distracted, but still ****ed.
Word.
