I overheard that people resigning in my firm are being asked to leave early without serving notice period so my firm can avoid them paying quarterly variable bonuses

Common. This is why you don’t quit before a bonus hits your bank account.

Yea this happens often. Hence why you usually don’t want to hand notice period until you get the bonus payout. I’ve seen this happen too often.

It’s pretty well known to quit after your variable comp hits your bank account.

Giving notice to employers is always a bad idea. It only services to give them opportunities to mess you up. They don't give you notice, you should not have to give them notice.

Why are they resigning before they get their bonus?

Cause they aren't aware of companies doing such things !!
