You may be confused about who is the beggar, and who is the chooser.

You may also forget who came to the corporation, hat in hand, in supplication for a job.

You may also forget who graced whom, with 50,000 dollars in training and career enhancement at the outset of that business relationship.

If you do forget, that is unfortunate.

Having been given fifty grand in career enhancement, which you take with you regardless of whether you walk or are fired, layed off, or "forgotten," you still leave with that career enhancement.

If you took it without giving back and walk away, the employer doesn't owe you. You owe the employer.

If the employer chooses to no longer employ you, you still walk away with that value.

You may forget that it's not the employer that owes you. When you've been provided that expensive, career-enhancing training, you may be forgetting that the obligation is yours.
