Subject is now having another conscience conflict..and would like to see a little of the bonus from the departed company.

i know what your saying... do the OT and expect to get paid, but thats not how it works. nothing wrong with leaving a week after payout. actually... nothing wrong with cashing the check and leaving then. its a bonus. right to work/right to not work state.
i cant see ever paying out for a bonus leaving prior to it being given. i saw a couple guys ask for it when i worked in the consulting engineering biz and they expected to be 'pro rated' their bonus and the owners said no way. i would do the same thing in the owners shoes.... matter of fact, i think a better idea (as an 'owner' now) is to hold back bonuses until several months after the year ends. it keeps folks around and then they are already a few months into the new year.
