This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Another legitimate case could be in the event of training by KeoughCharles05

Supposing that an electrical company takes on unskilled workers to provide them with apprenticeship training, truly investing in their. Before investing a bunch of time and resources into this training project, the company might reasonably want some assurances that they'll get an ROI.

Both the company and the potential trainee are likely better off if the trainee can be prevented from leaving for a competitor immediately after the training is complete, as the trainee would receive the benefit of the on the job training, and the company would receive the benefit of reduced turnover if they invest in such training. As a general matter here, the entire industry would also likely benefit, as on-the-job training would likely be more beneficial than school-based training, so all companies would eventually have more, better-trained workers.
