Thats exactly what I’m saying. I’m not even here yet. And I wouldn’t be angry in the slightest if only you guys currently on property got it. Still confused why it’s suddenly being offered, and why my Nov 28 class seems to be where they drew the line. What about Oct 24 guys? I was almost in that class but had some things to attend to.

I only had a few minutes to read over it last night, fell asleep instantly. I’m confused as to why we only have a day or two to consider. It came with the announcement of the bonus, and page 2 was just like the offer letter I signed after my CJO (welcome, your class will be the 28th, sign here blah blah accepting the offer). Form 2 is a Promissory note; offer letter says in plain language that 3 years is required, or else pay back in full (no prorating), the Promissory note has legalese but seems to say the same. Form 3 is bank info for a deposit I guess.

I know other industries have signing bonuses and they claw back if you leave. But this is new territory for me, with no time to consider. The way the email and offer letter sound, it comes across as “you must sign this new offer letter to say you’re coming to class.” Im not trying to leave, so I don’t necessarily see a disadvantage, but I share your uneasiness/skepticism since it feels rushed.
