Layoff and sign in bonus

I just got laid off. Will oracle try to take back the sign in bonus of 20k$? The contract mentioned I need to reimburse it if I leave in the first 18 months. Thanks

Sorry to hear, what group? Does the contract stipulate what happens if oracle leaves you?

Sorry to hear that. I think sign on bonus needs to be returned only for at will employment . You should be good.

Don't worry about it. You did not leave. It was they who laid you off. If they ask you to return the money tell them exactly that.

Sorry to hear. I believe you'll find even better opportunities! 🙂

What exactly are the terms in the contract? Copy paste?

Oracle sucks!

I was in the same situation in the past. Don't worry about signon bonus, you will keep it. Take a couple of days break to get over it, and Focus on the next steps in your career. You will find a better opportunity soon. All the best!

Will they? Maybe maybe not. But if they do just tell them to fk off and you'll be good.
