Never heard of such thing

I’m sure what they are doing is legal, but I would leave the company if I were you. Sounds like toxic management

Its new agreement ler, not previous agreement

That’s not toxic? Really?

I’ve worked with multiple MNCs, one large GLCs…and now retired.

Never saw such things before. Thats toxic to me, maybe not for you cause to you its normal.

Its not about the promise. Its the act of forcing people to sign an agreement to forfeit their bonus

I’ve been given bonuses without any conditions attached

That ensures my loyalty rather than some agreement

Withholding one’s bonus by subjecting them to sign an agreement is what one can also term as ‘holding to ransom’

Thats toxic behaviour right there

TS is referring to annual bonus ie performance bonus

Its performance bonus, if the employer feels the need to hold an employee’s bonus who has performed throughout the year and probably rightfully deserves it, thats toxic behaviour right there

For someone who said you have nothing else to say, you sure got a lot more to say

First of all, ‘irregardless’ is not even a word

Yes, they are not obligatory

You seem confused again to say ‘you agreed to the terms’. Nobody has agreed to the terms, TS himself said he did not agree to the terms.

Its the condition that has been handed to him. Good for him he moved to another company, a company that ties you with such conditions are red flags all over.

You keep harping about terms that are agreed, when I keep pointing its not the terms but the act itself.

It sure is odd, but not illegal.

In cases of sign on or retention bonus, you need to serve the term first then only they pay you. You dont have to return it back once they pay you. This is pretty normal for MNCs.

This part that panda cannot understand.
