Take get fired or leave as managed out
Boss told me baecause he needs functional expert. Not in the JD. So he asked me to leave after 8 weeks. He is also helping me to find any internal positions outside this department. It is only 6 months I joined. My worry is do I have to pay my sign bonus back in either conditions?
Take fired and neither pay bonus.
Your boss needs to get fired.
Any specific reason if may ask?
Coz he failed at hiring the right person and now doesn't wanna train
Your boss is an asshole
Get fired so you can claim that sweet severance
What severance? You mean unemployment benefit?
Look up Intel's severance policy: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/employee/leaving-intel.html 1 to 4 paychecks, dunno how it scales. Severance is also different from unemployment (pretty sure they stack, too).
Keep your bonus. That is the LEAST he can do.
Negotiate to leave the company while keeping the bonus.
This is some Amazon level shit.
Get laid off, get unemployment. Do not quit otherwise no unemployment
How do you get laid off when there is no lay-off in the company? Do you mean mutual agreement separation?
@OP :What does it take for you to become an “functional expert” ?
Every company has specific things related to let's say manufacturing, supply chain or something. Experience from previous jobs may be irrelevant in particular scenarios. It takes a bit of time or some one has to coach you along the way. If manager or someone not investing time , you arenot set up for success. It takes bit longer time to figure out. Functional experience come from your learning on the job. Can only be accelerated through mentoring.

Was there any wording in the contract about the return of joining fee?
Yes there is clause about if I leave or they terminate for cause
Is there a time period? How much is the joining bonus? If you can find another job with a similar joining bonus then probably switch. Otherwise you should search internally and live out the period in the clause
