Even better for the company, if they fire someone even just before the end of the year -- no bonus at all for them. If they were to pay them the equivalent of the bonus in extra salary installments throughout the year, most of that money would be gone.

I've not been outright fired, but in every case where I got laid off the bonus was considered part of your compensation and paid.

It's typically more expensive to replace somebody. And if there's no reason to fire you... why would they?
