If you renege on your return offer, do they actually ask you for the signing bonus back? I’d imagine it costs more to legally get the money back from you then to just give it up?

OP are you asking just as a thought exercise or were you actually planning/hoping to do this and try to get away with it?
If the latter, I hope you change your ways, coz that is disgusting behavior.

Does the contract/agreement say that you have to give it back if you don’t come back? Or does it say that you can keep it even if you change your mind? Since it’s a signing bonus, I would assume the prior. Even if there wasn’t any explicit stipulation, I think it’s highly unethical not to give it back. Them asking for it back doesn’t change whether you SHOULD give it back or not.
