Payback Clauses!! I received a sign-on bonus and was informed that if I left the company prior to 18 months I would have to pay back X% of my sign-on bonus. I recently accepted a new job and have flexibility as to when I put in my 2 week notice. If my 18 month anniversary date is on December 8th, can I put in my two week notice before this date with the understanding that my last day would fall after this date, or would it be safest to put in my 2 week notice after my 18 month anniversary date?

Good thing my role doesn’t get bonuses so I don’t have to think about this

Don’t give them a chance. You could find yourself getting walked early before the date and then being strong armed for that bonus. Wait til the 9th.

Read the terms and play on the safe side. They may consider your notification date and not the last day you plan to work. If you’re moving to a competitor, they let you go as soon as you give notice.

I’d also wait until your background check clears and you’re fully cleared to join to give notice, then choose your start date from there. Based on that timing, you may be clear of that clause.

I’d wait.

Most likely. Read exactly what the agreement says, but if you’re an employee through that date, sounds like you’d be fine.

Wait to give your two weeks until the 8th or even the 9th.

Wait until December 9 unless the new company wants you to start earlier - including that they would cover any payback you need to make.

What can I say to get them to give me the range first and then I can state if that works for me or not?

I‘ve been in a relationship for 2 years, and my avoidant tendencies flare up every so often when I feel let down by my SO — e.g., usually when he’s blanked on something he should have done to make me feel more supported in work or social contexts. He knows this about me and supports me wholeheartedly as I continue to work through it — but I know I can be quite cold and distant in these rare but painful moments. How do others work through this, if at all?
