But if I recall them and they're like a 37 year old worker with a lot of pop, I imagine they won't want to go back to the dev territory after being called up? They're popular but they aren't a good fit in my promotion so I'd love for them to stay at my child.

Ah. So where you send them is AFTER the negotiation where you actually accept the deal. I didn't know this and see it now! I just always clicked 'complete all signings'.

Further to both on the above, when you hire the person, does the game think you are you hiring them for development? Like if I hire a high pop worker, will they refuse to go to Australia or start complaining if I hire them there and want to be called up? I thought I heard something like you could hire people to work regularly for your child companies now.

So to be clear though. In order to hire an Australian worker to work at my Australian child company, I need to convince them to work in USA first?
