Specifically not paying contractors. He would regularly hire contractors for jobs at Trump buildings/companies where it was x% up front and x% on completion. Then when they came for the completion percent he would just not pay and make them take him to court. Sometimes he paid, but other times they just couldn’t afford to litigate as long as he could so they’d get stiffed.
Afaik the bonus promised is 50k, which is a bit more significant. Leads to people joking that they’d like to join, get the bonus and then just not do the job.
Exactly it’s a retention bonus that gets paid out in stages, but DHS can also recoup all of it if the agent/goon leaves before the period expires. I wouldn’t be surprised if they dangle a “reenlistment” bonus near the end of the term which locks them in longer.

ICE had a signup bonus (dunno how much, $4000, I think?), and nobody received it yet.
The guy who is ‘famous for not paying’ is Trump, who has a history of being in debt/not paying his debts off.

Or paying the buses to his rally in winter but not back, abandoning a ton of his followers to freeze the night or find other ways home.

You have to stay with the agency several years. The plan is to fire them before paying.

Signup bonus is different from retention/quota bonus. Signup bonus is all him
But the big one, the retention bonus can probably be pushed off long enough to blame democrats and/or not paid because they’re not making their quotas

It was way more than that- like 50-70k…
