Reply to comment by Bright-Entrepreneur in Retention Bonus, any advice? by fixquesto

Thanks, and agreed. What's confusing me is that this is offered 1 year after the completion of the merger. As much as the internet research I've done can offer, this commonly seems to be offered through the merger rather than 1 year post-merger. But again, this is just from Googling. Does the timeframe seem... Strange?

Not really. Labor market hot - suddenly worried about losing some key people or maybe they just lost some key people and don’t want to lose more. Happens. Random retention bonuses can happen even with no mergers in the picture.

Merger may have included $$$ for retention bonus? I had one they forgot to ask me to sign after giving notice to quit. Quit shortly after

Good point, I did not think about that. Will definitely be keeping a close eye on how this develops...
