I was hired at a company who paid to train me for six months, and I signed a contract that said I’d have to work for them for at least two years or I’d have to pay the money back ($8,000 if I left after the year mark.)

However, the job is not as they promised, I’m miserable, and there’s an insane amount of turnover in the company.

Is it worth it to just quit and pay back the money? Can they hold me to it? It would do a lot of damage to my savings but I’m not sure I can hold out.

How much is your health worth? Not to mention the lost time in a job that isn’t right. I can’t comment on the financial strain, but they can’t force you to write a check for money that you don’t have.

You can always work out a payment plan with your employer if you are indeed required to repay them, even though the job is not as advertised.

Don’t quit before you have another job though — you may be able to negotiate a bigger salary in a new position, or a signing bonus, to offset the money you would owe your employer.
