Ask him for half his annual salary in return
No don't give him, he only got the job because you stuck your neck out for him, he should be grateful to you for a helping hand.
It will be taxed so definitely do not give him $1000? Moreover, his gift was getting the job? And he may have even gotten a signing bonus?
That's ridiculous. Think of it this way, if it damages or breaks the friendship, you filtered out a crappy friend and got paid for it. Win win.
When i get people jobs via recommendations, they give me gifts/ give me a treat me somehow, not all the way around.
💯 He got a job because you referred him. Even if it was his skills, you got his resume put on the list by referring him. I would not give him anything. It’s rude he would even bring that up.
Absolutely not, that is your money. In fact, you should question their friendship for them asking you for it. It is none of their business that you got that money.
100
No its your money to keep
That's your money plus look at it this way what if he washes out or decides he doesn't like the job is he going to give you the money back I highly doubt it
Don't give him a penny. That is your $ you earned . I see this all the time especially when I go to the casino and hit a jackpot for $10,000 and someone I went to school with is playing a machine across from me and all of a sudden starts trying to be my best friend giving me his lifelong Pitty story about how his electric bills 1500 dollars and about to get shut off and how he can't afford to eat. I'm thinking to myself what are you doing at a casino if you can't even afford to eat lol . Anytime someone wins money people think they're entitled to part of it if they're around you or have anything to do with even being related to you or any excuse they can come up with to try and talk you out of a little bit of your money. I also matched all the numbers but the main ball on the Powerball and one 1 million back in 2024 and I had a bunch of people messaging me on Facebook asking for $ lol family that hadn't talked to me in 10 years started calling and coming around and all of the fake friends I have had in life sending me messages asking for $ . Its pathetic and sad. I did buy my mother a nice investment airbnb cabin in Gatlinburg that makes her around 60k a year so she could retire but thats because money can't place a value on the things my mother has done for me and my brothers. Either way keep your $ and don't give him a dime
Oh, and that’s not a friend, that’s a leech.. you might not see it that way, but if you start to write down in a notebook all the things you’ve done for him, VS all the things he has done for you.. you’ll likely feel a s*cker..
I agree. Get rid of your friend.
This is madness to me. The referral bonus obviously goes to the referee. They wouldn’t share their signing bonus with you. Don’t bend.
I’d fo back to HR and explain that it was a mistake, and not get the money and not give him the job, as I went through something similar, I will not recommend anyone ever again, never..
Perhaps next time if you decide to refer someone don’t talk about the details of the referral bonus. I have second hand embarrassment for your husband’s friend. You did him a huge favor so don’t give him a dime. His entitlement is a huge 🚩
Absolutely not. Are you going to get a refund if he performs poorly or quits in six months?
His reputation is currently zero. He’s riding on the names listed on his resume (like yours).
Unless you agreed to it upfront there is no reason to even think about it. You put your reputation on the line and if he ends up not working out it could be a reputational risk on your end. This situation happened to me with a friend and the job has paid dividends and I’ve built my career there. Maybe they’ll see it if you put it that way, all most people need is a chance!
No he would not have a job with out you that job is way more then the bonus people so gritty for no reason
Hell no
Absolutely NOT.
Instead of being grateful for the job, he felt that he needed your (deserved) cut too.
I hate it for the new team members that will have to work with this entitled personality. The company will probably lose a few good employees during his time.
Reminds me of Allstar sports athletes with zero championships. Great individual skills, but PURE locker room killers. They put the “me” in Team.
What a tool. You shouldn’t even consider it.
I agree/half that salary sounds right.
No. It’s your money for getting him in the company. That’s your commission.
Tell him to give you half of his first month’s paycheck first bcz you got him a job.
he wouldn’t have gotten the job without you. He wouldn’t have known about the job without you no.
Not sure how he found out, but if money is going to "hurt" your relationship then it's not even a good relationship to begin with
Yes, it sounds like they’re headed for a future divorce, or they’re perfectly paired and you know now. Be careful
