We had similar clause at a competitor a few years ago. I think it was 1-2 years, and less money? But the training was easy longer than 4 weeks and pretty extensive.

The clause was more about preventing someone from getting specialized service training and opening up their own shop.

A couple of other great ideas. I just heard on the radio:
They would like schools to be set up as a single entry and exit point with a retired veteran guarding the door.
Or they want response teams to show up once called if an event begins because they expect to be quicker and more agile than they already established police force.

ThreadRed Dead Redemption 2 |OT2| For A Few Hours More
Just started a few days ago and barely scratched the surface.
First impressions though, holy shit you can see and hear the production quality. The whole introduction justifies the title of art.
Everything so far is slow and methodical. But this is creating some immersion, especially with game play spliced with cinematic angles.
However there are a few nagging things. Other than the obvious and trodden weight on controls, an item is in front of you and you can't pick it up because Arthur spins around and past it over and over it.
But the more frustrating thing for me is all the tips constantly popping up. The hud and text size is tiny and in there middle of game play they pop up for 5 second to press x or y. Sometimes it sounds out feels intuitive and sometimes not. Other times is tap this button it holds that same button.
It's immersion breaking when I have to keep second guessing what buttons to press. Maybe it will start to click and I can play without thinking.
Oh, and I can't tell if I should be decent or a dick.
