Chapter 23: chapter 23

The teacher - I suggest that you should think over it. You should take at least a day. Jay - No, sir. I don’t want any more time. My decision is final. The teacher - Okay, as you say. I was shocked at Jay’s behaviour. I thought, “He is acting foolishly. He has already given a year to the company. Now, he just needs to keep some patience.”The teacher - Okay, Jay, if you want to leave the company then you have to pay thirty lakh rupees to the company. All the candidates were shell shocked to hear that, “Thirty lakhs!”The teacher - Jay, in the last one year, the company has spent thirty lakhs on your training, accommodation, food, laundry and on the other things. As per the clauses of the contract that you signed, it is clearly written that if you want to leave the training early without completing it, then you have to pay all the bills that the company was providing you for free. Jay - It’s injustice! It’s not fair!The teacher - It is fair, mr Jay. The company was spending money on you with full generosity that one day, you will become a superstar, a popstar and you will make some profits for the company. But what did you do? You turned out to be a betrayer. After taking the training for free from the company, now you want to leave it!Jay had come under moral pressure. The statements delivered by the teacher were proving Jay wrong. A sense of guilt began to grip his heart and mind too.Â
