clearly you've never been to the midwest
it's a stretch but I can see someone pulling it off
As for how much would it take to quit my job, I apparently owe my old company $145 dollars from a 3 grand signing bonus I got with the guidelines stating if I left before a year is over I'd have to pay it back
I was there for nearly 3 years and got a letter saying I owed them $145 for leaving before my year was up, our HR was famously bad and to further prove that I still get grievance e-mails for missing mandatory meetings after having quit over a year ago
