Do we need help quitting?

IT'S a dilemma that has trapped many college graduates: They wonder whether they should sign a long-term contract with an employer in order to get the much-coveted permanent residence in a big city.

But when a better job offer comes along later on, they either have to pay a large penalty fee for failing to complete their contract, or stick with their current job.

But, according to a Monday Beijing Youth Daily report, it's now possible to hop to your dream job without having to pay a cent to your current employer. This is thanks to a \"resignation service\" provided by some law firms in Beijing.

Lawyers from these firm try to prove that their clients want to resign because their employers aren't abiding by employment and labor law. A penalty can be avoided if the employer is found to be breaking the law.

Most college graduates think the \"resignation service\" useful and some commentators say it can help protect employees' rights. But employers complain that this legal service encourages graduates to use their first job merely as a spring board.

So what do you think? Is the \"resignation service\" a good idea?
