I had a candid conversation with my boss and HR this week and I was told they would not be pursuing any repayment of tuition from employees who left before their time was up.
I have over a year left and went to my boss to let him know it was the only thing keeping me here and surprisingly he was very cool about it. He scheduled a meeting with our HR rep and they told me they don’t want that to be a bad look for the company.
I plan on looking for new roles over the weekend and thought this might help others.
