I am not totally agree with the Author as this is lack of research work from Employee before getting into the company as what will be job profile and what is expected from him? I have a different point to take up here that in India why we have this bond? Most of the graduates who gets placed after campus has to sign a bond sometime as long as 4years with their employer stating that it is for ROI(return of investment)they have on employee.If one sees the bigger picture it is not for ROI it is for safeguarding their interest so that they can use them with lesser salaries and not matching job profile so that they maximise their profit. We need regulation from government on this Bond as it not only restricts in getting better job oppurtunity but also limits if one wants to leave the job for higher education.

having worked in the top managment of a few IT firms, I can say that work bonds in India are just a bluff. Go ahead and break it. If you are not doing permanent harm to company ( stealing stuff or enciting large groups of employees to go with you) - the company will not care. Now it may be diffrent if you have been forced into a loan or something like that - in that sense, forced debt is illegal - and there are exisiting laws against it. No one can force anyone to take a debt in order to retain a job.

You are missing the point here. The author is talking about Graduates who come out of second class institutions. When people joined such institutions, they wouldn't expect that they will get jobs after their graduation. How many graduates do research before they embark into employment? Do these second class institutes give enough education and confidence?
