The company has managed to do very well for itself for a very long time. No one at the company seems to be worried about its future, and to suggest that the company would spend millions yearly in training just to let new hires go before even getting on the line, or shortly thereafter, is a little bit preposterous in my opinion. I don't think they're that financially irresponsible.
