Has anyone ever paid back a bonus that was contingent on staying at the company?

Curious as to how it works with paying it back and all the money that gets taxed before you receive the amount.

1) if you're taking a new role, use the signing bonus to pay this one back
2) ask your employer if you can pay back in installments rather than lump sum (this is usually fine)
I've heard of not paying it back, usually you won't get sued or go to collections for this (depending on the amount, optics aren't worth it), but you will go on a denylist. Also, karma.
