 Even "simple" contract disputes can land you in prison, even as a man. Most people cannot afford to pay $100k before leaving the country (recent example I noticed from Saudi) when your employer wants to be a stickler about some line in a contract.

Hell no.

 Yeah. I know one woman who decided she was going to leave her teaching job in China. She basically had to smuggle herself out of there. The plane ticket she bought for herself mysteriously ceased to exist. Luckily her mom was able to buy her one while she was at the airport. 

Meanwhile in Saudi people I know are like "yeah it's super nice, they keep you in a compound!" Bruh. I'm not going anywhere where I need to be kept in a compound.

 Please don't go anywhere you need to be "kept in a compound." Gah!
