I referred an old coworker of mine to my current company and I received a referral bonus. He started this week and just now asked me if I will give him any of the bonus. I would have been fine with that if we discussed it during his interview process, but we never did. I feel like since we didn’t establish that he would get any beforehand, it seems unfair that he’s asking for something now. He even received a nice signing bonus. Thoughts on whether I should split the referral bonus?

Send him this thread, I bet he'll stop asking and invite you to dinner to celebrate!

He must be joking, right? I’d just laugh at him and say “no way buddy- take a hike”. I’d be taking him for a drink tho. I wouldn’t discuss it at all with him. If he ever asks again, just laugh at him and say:- “my referral bonus is none of your business…you scab”

Plus say “then you share your signing bonus with me- so we’re even.”

Rude and not how it works. I usually take them to dinner with part of my bonus.

I truly don’t understand people like this. It’s a strong no from me.

You should not

Absolutely not, that is greedy and disrespectful on his part. He should be buying YOU a bottle of wine or whiskey for giving him the in to get hired.

Tell him that you don’t get it unless/until he makes it through his probationary period and at this rate, that’s not looking very promising.
