I applied for a higher position within the city where I work, was offered the position, and transferred to a new work location.
Now, on my second week at my new job, i received an email that HR didn't realize that the hiring bonus was only for external hires. They never informed me of this, it was not written anywhere in the job application, and now i won't be receiving my $1000.
I probably would still have applied for the position, but the bonus was a big incentive for me. I'm very angry. How can they do that??
