Bonuses reward past work; incentives motivate future work.
Unless it was the latter, you owe ‘em nothing.

Agree 100%

Take the money and run. Loyalty is not rewarded in this industry, and long term incentives are non-existent (as are raises at many agencies).

If your employment agreement doesn’t have this clause, then it’s in your absolute right to do so as you please.

You get a bonus?

Yeah for sure. Pretty common to hold off for bonuses, vestment, etc.

Very common.

Ideal.

Take the money and go. I missed out on a bonus to take a new opportunity, wish I could have stalled just a little longer. Cash is essential.

The perfect time to resign.

Bonuses reward past work, so congrats on a bonus and a job well done since bonuses are almost unheard of. You should feel free to move with our guilt. If the money is an incentive to stay the managers should be saying that.

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)
