I can understand (still don't agree with) a year training contract, but how on earth could anyone justify re indenturing your own employees every year. Has anyone else seen one of these type of training contracts? I thought my friend was joking at first. Reminds me of the old company stores you hear about in a history class if its true.
I deal with it every year. This is the future of 135 operators and cost cutting measures. It is also a way to recoup money spent if the employee does not stay for the year. The amount is prorated, but you are screwed either way.
