I would probably agree that "money doesn't motivate people past a certain point"...except when the cost of housing goes up every year. It is not like the extra money most people seek is more and more vacation money -- most are just trying to keep up with rents.

I'm at this training with a developer from South America who just moved to the US, and holy moly he got screwed over. He is earning $15/hr writing PHP for this small company in an expensive area ($1350/month for 1 bed & 1 bath) with a broad non-compete and $4k that he will have to pay back if he leaves within the next 12 months for this training.

I know the training itself is free (they actually are giving us a few grand in credit for going), and hotels, flights, etc are under $1k, so this is a super sweet deal for his company.

He should be suggested to just leave and say fuck you to the bill. It's the only way to deal with crooks in the US.
