I have employment law question. Nothing is technically illegal at my work besides no breaks. But I have a micromanaging boss. She's not only micromanaging; she's demeaning and inexperienced. I signed a contract to stay a year for them to pay relocation costs. The relocation costs ended up being 37k and it ends on Dec 1st. I am miserable at my job. I have written (and not sent) numerous 2 week notice letters. How can I get out of my contract or do you have any other advice on how to make it work?

You poor thing that sounds like some purgatory of some sort!!! I honestly don't know the legal ramifications of that but I'd bet they'd want you for all your worth after that.

They would have to fire you to break the contract. However is there a clause saying you have to pay it back otherwise?

Doesn't seem fair to bill you if they fire you unless you are totally an incompetent employee. (Not aimed at you specifically, just the contract wording.)

You got a $37,000 relocation package as a college recruit?

I wasn't a college recruit. Just an outside hire.

I currently make 78k at Lockheed but I’m not doing what I’d like to be doing and i felt stuck and after many conversations with my manager and no solution in sight, I started applying elsewhere. I just recently got an offer from a smaller AI company for 95k that I plan to accept. I’m happy to make the jump, I just don’t know how my manager/coworkers will react when I tell them I’m leaving.

911 Carrera S vs GTS

I really want to do a low key spec on my next car but it’s almost impossible to spec the GTS without black wheels/accents turning it into a more aggressive looking car.

Thoughts on if the GTS in a 7 speed is more engaging than the S enough to justify the compromise in wheel selection?
