Airi hasn't ever elaborated on the reason she can't leave her black company. When the topic comes up, she just says she's unable to leave at the current time. In the absence of the actual reason, the prevailing rrats have become: 1) her company paid for education and/or training and locked her into a particularly exploitative contract, or 2) her company is facilitating her visa.There's a few factors that we can infer from what she says.
>Almost none of the cushy software engineer jobs are being handed out nowadays especially after the mass exodus of employees from all the tech companies in the past 2 years.
>She says that it's an "expensive piece of paper" which most likely means that the current job she has doesn't even have programming as part of the job description. It's most likely a tech support job that pays close to minimum and has long hours because navigating the internal system still has job training.
>Depending on how much she complains about debt she might have gone straight to a 4 year out of high school instead of transferring out of community college which can range from around 30k(including housing and food expenses) to holy shit amounts depending on how prestigious the school is(and where she lives haha where's the dox guys).
As for the thing that's keeping Airi there someone said a couple hundred pages back that most likely the company paid for education/training and if she quits she has to pay a contract breach fee(can't remember if that came from Airi's testimony or not) but there's probably multiple scenarios where she can't quit her job that aren't just BLACK COMPANY BAD.
