The company I work for was purchased by a larger company at the start of the year. We were given half of a total bonus at the start of the year and promised the other half if we stayed on until the end of the year.

It’s getting late in the year and I have not been included in recent meetings with the larger company that directly relate to my department…none of my team has.

I am starting to worry for my job. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Am I paranoid or is my gut correct? 😬

Looking for advice on what my next steps should be.

If they do let you go don’t sign anything. Go back and negotiate for - at the very least - a prorated version of that bonus.

Sorry, we received half of the bonus at the beginning of the year and will get the last half on January 1, 2023. If we stay to January 1. An amount of money based on how long we have been with the company.

Have you had a similar experience?

If so, did it end up as a layoff?
