Why would you sign a contract (promise to deliver) only to break it? That is called a breach of contract and I would imagine that if they really wanted to pursue it, they would have a strong case against you.

The right thing to do would be to pay them what you "promised" if you decide to breach the agreement.

Technically, it's a training agreement. Not a contract. A quick Google search will summarize the very distinct differences between the two.

Take it easy. We posted at the same time, so I wasn't responding to you. Everyone calls this a contract, I just wanted to clear up what new hires are being asked to sign.

Doesn't matter in a court of law in most states. It could be written out on a napkin and still be enforceable. It is a written (signed) promise and just about any judge would find in favor of the employer in this case (and rightfully so)

My last words on the subject - Don't defraud your employer. Don't take legal advice from this website or Google.

🤔... Got it. For those of you who missed it, here you go....

By not taking legal advise on this website, I'm pretty sure he means "do" take legal advice. Otherwise, warning against doing so would be duplicitous, as that advice itself is legal advice. But then again, since no legal advice is advised, he's actually saying to not to.

If you need further explanation, please, simply ask. Up next; the speed of a swallow.

Not saying it's ethical, but a lawyer friend of mine claims that there are numerous ways to get around a "training contract"

I don't know if, when it came down to it, they would actually try to enforce it (meaning lawyers, courts, etc). I'm guessing it is primarily a deterrent to people leaving right away. But just like other have said, you'd probably only be leaving for a job where you could afford to pay it if you needed to.

If this works, perhaps you can send Franke the same message?
