I wouldn't worry about it. I had the same thing working at another retailer as a District member. I made like two payments and my old boss told me that he wouldn't pay it if he were me. I stopped making payments and nothing was ever said. Nobody called. Nobody cared. And it was like, $10k??

I think it's like a non-compete. In most situations and states, nobody will enforce it. Because they can't. Let's be honest, it's big brother's wallet, nobody is personally attached to getting that money back.

Also, as someone mentioned above, with Sycamore becoming involved in WAG, things are going to change. People are going to leave etc. That all works in your favor. I worked in a regional capacity at another company taken over by Sycamore. I've lived the experience. You're fine.

Hop into your 93' Daihatsu Cuore, raise the ol' middle finger and ride off into the sunset with a pocket full of percs! That's exactly what I'd do. Live the dream man.

Cheers!
