Anyone with a US JD moved to Mexico to practice?
Return to office but no pay increase 😒

Never have heard of this and the likelihood of it working is very low. But if you don’t ask, you surely won’t receive.
Following.
My two cents are that it won’t work because most bonus memos I’ve read are “associates in good standing” will receive it. If you’re headed out the door through a layoff, I don’t think that would qualify as good standing. Alternatively, if you’re leaving voluntarily, I think they’d just argue that you’re walking away from the money.
I would 100% ask for it. Never heard of it happening but if you won’t ask, it won’t happen. I’ve asked for multiple ridiculous things over my career, and I’ve gotten all of them. People are scared shitless for absolutely no reason. You’re leaving—you have nothing to lose.

There’s zero chance you’ll get it and 100% chance that whoever hears about the request will laugh at you. This is why most people don’t lateral before bonuses are paid.
