Has anyone been fired before and had to pay back a signing bonus? Pretty sure you have to pay back the taxes you paid on it too right? Is there anyway to get any of the taxes back from the IRS later and/or any other recourse?

Also agree with K1. I've never heard of having to pay back your signing bonus because you got fired for performance or laid off. If anything, everyone I know who got fired for performance or laid off got 3 months severance to look for a new job.

OP - This was at another T2 and not OW. But yes, all the folks I saw released were new hire associates with 6-9 months of consulting exp.

AFAIK, we do have a severance pay plan at OW. I don't have a copy in front but I would search for that. If I recall, it also outlines what is for cause and I don't believe performance was one of them.

Hey OP any update? Hoping for the best!

Hit me up if you want to talk about what went wrong and where and we can chat about a possible referral. Some companies don’t allow for growing pains at a new job. My company was really chill about my first six months underperforming because they understood there was a learning curve. I’m one of our highest performers now (been told in reviews) and I just needed the extra time to get my feet under me.

I also don’t think OP is getting fired at least not in the near term. More like a “Needs Development” flag and action plan to improve.

WHAT! Spill the tea….

I have not been fired yet and apparently companies don’t do it on Fridays so possible I’m in the clear? Also not staffed yet so that isn’t great

Don’t let this stress hang over you. Reach out to your leadership proactively. First sit down and think about where you’re falling short, where you need support, and where you excel.

Treat this like a consultant and lead the conversation. Best case you get everything you need to be successful there and thrive. Worst case you know where you stand and you get canned a few weeks earlier (hopefully before the end of the strong job market).
