Companies that do this should be named, shamed and you should question how financially liable they are. Nobody keeps their bonus to return it, this sounds weirdly illegal. I say let them sue and find a lawyer that challenges the lawsuit on the grounds of what bonuses are meant to be, if you don't want someone to leave before X years, hold their bonuses till their Xth year working for you, but let them pile up, and no take backsies.

Just because somebody posts a video of themself crying hysterically on Tik Tok doesn't mean they are right. I'm just saying.

It wasn't a bonus like a year end bonus, it was a sign on bonus and a relocation package. So they gave her money and helped her move cities in the idea that she would work for them, and then she decided to renege on that deal. I've had a similar offer made and they were very clear I would need to pay it back if I quit within the year. I don't really see what is wrong with no this.
