born on a buy you posted:isn't the trick there to get fired? that was my understanding one of my previous employers let my predecessor get away w/ murder due to a moving bonus apparently they made it like 8 months of doin almost nothing before management got around to the termination and then free $7k or something like that

i have never heard of a 60-200k signing bonus unless you're including stocks or some poo poo. if that's the case then i'm not surprised they'd want the money back

pointsofdata posted:So you're trapped working there to effectively pay off a debt, didn't get any real time off when you had a baby, and have started drinking more? And that is with a good boss and successful start? basically yes, but I'm looking at this from the point of view where I'm not living and working in Mexico. This is still a major improvement for me! I do want to clarify that I could have taken unpaid leave for up to 6 months, but lol at having a new mouth to feed and no money to do it with. Also the bonus was 25k, 25k, then stocks worth 50k start vesting after the 2 year period.
