Thanks to everyone for your answers, much appreciated.
Good for you for respecting the terms of the contract you signed.
There is a limit to how long any company will hold a spot for you. Six months is kinda long considering we are skilled labor (we don't bring intellectual skills to the game. In other words, a company might wait a lifetime for Einstein, but a back hoe operator, not so long)
That said, consider this: if the company won't respect you for fulfilling your obligation, do you think they are a company you want to work for?
