Any “bonuses” that you see advertising for a position are not bonuses at all but are just advertising ploys by our corporate jailers.
- Relocation “bonuses” are simply reimbursement programs that shockingly none of your actual expenses of moving qualify for!
- Sign-on “bonuses” are simply bets they place on you quitting before the term in the fine print is up, at which point they force you to re-pay the “bonus”.
I'm certain there are many other traps out there – but these are the two I just idiotically fell for. Yes this is just a rant disguised as helpful information. Yes, I'm pissed another healthcare organization fucked me out of my money.
Don't be a dunce like me, consider yourself warned.
