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.
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
Absolutely not, unless he and you made a plan in advance to suggest him so that you could get the bonus! Wow, They're not going to be great to work with by the sound of it. I don't understand why your friend even let them suggest that. I'd re-evaluate the relationships, and keep a big distance from this person at work if they get the job. I'd be inclined to tell HR that I'd misjudged them as being a decent human being, and offer the money back, just so I wouldn't have to work with them.
Yes this
Next thing, you get fired because they kept being as wonderful as they are acting now
Not worth the gamble.
LOL are they sure they made a good hiring decision?
If you agreed to pay him before referring him then you owe him. Happens all the time for really good candidates. If you did not agree on this prior to the referral then you don’t owe him anything. That being said if you care about the relationship pay him something, may be a token of good faith. If you don’t, then be deaf to his demands.
If the relationship is hurt that is his fault. He took the job because it is a better career move and is probably making more money than his old place.
I‘m detecting something not good about this “friend” of his.. manipulation, fakeness, hypocrisy I mean the UN of red flags.. to be in this forum that says it all..
No, you should not since you were nice enough to recommend him. Plus you will be paying tax for the 2k.
I would wait and see if this guy gets past Probation,
Most Recommended employee's have issues.
If he does make it offer him $100, and remind him without you tipping him off there was an opening he would still be looking for a job.
Someone who recommended me got $10k and never told about it during the process. I was bitter because I learned about it a couple of years later. At that point in my life even sharing some would have helped me a lot. So, share the love as you would have never gotten it without him and you never know how it will help them.
absolutely not👍
He's shown you his true colours - what do YOU value? Are you willing to overlook your friend's husband's mercenary nature to continue the relationship with them? Or do you find his behaviour insulting to your intelligence?
My suggestion: Cut him out once and for all. Stand firm but if your friends intercedes, just give him what he "thinks" he deserves and cut them BOTH out of your life.
You will have to issue him a 1099. I think the $2K belongs to you. Better explain hardily that he needs to get his own bonus. Also watch for breaking the law.
Congratulations, you brought a total duche into your place of work
No I don't believe you should give him any of it.
And he wouldn't have gotten the job if you hadn't referred him. That was your fee as a professional recruiter. He sounds like a jerk.
You provided the opportunity!!! The absolute nerve. Instead of being grateful
When my friend recommended I work at his place of employment, I gave his name and we both got a $2000( Less after taxes) bonus after I stayed 3 months.
First, if your husband asked, is your job hiring - then consider after taxes. For example: after taxes, you end up with 1,200, thank him with 200.00. Second, a bonus should not stop a friendship, because it's not the hired that received the bonus. Only selfishness let money get in between in any type of relationship. Follow? Hope that made sense. 🤔
It’s called a referral bonus for a reason. The company values the referral, he took the job so he obviously got value from it as well. In these situations I find it works pretty well to to say “no”. It was an inappropriate ask and you’re not going to benefit from discussion. No… enough said
What kind of friend would bother to ask for half the referral bonus? Think about it.
No, you shouldn't that's your "refer a friend payment" the payment he's getting is his salary.
I haven't heard of someone wanting half of the payment before, that's terrible tbh!
Maybe you need to rethink that friendship.
He doesn’t have a job without you.
Personally I would not give him a dime.
It’s warped logic.
