I was suppose to get a raise last month, I spoke with HR and she said they know how hard I work and I was "first on the list" to get one after our CEO speaks with corporate.
It never appeared on my check, and I don't want to talk to HR again.
- so I guess you don't want the bonus? what's wrong with a quick call to HR?monospaced

Do you expect bonus points when playing a video game? Work bonuses are no different.

Two bonuses means you get taxed twice...one for each bonus.

Anything not in writing is not part of your agreement. A new mgmt team won't be bound by your previous teams verbal commitments, and if the 'other budget' is out of money, that's your tough luck.
You might ask for bonus #1 as a signing bonus - as a show of good faith since they won't commit to anything in writing. Honestly though, it doesn't sound like you'd be in a good situation to bargain from... better that they talk to the boss and get your salary budgeted from the start.

seriously though, my bonus is a 13th check (as standard). i didn't read the thread completely, so if you're talking about bonuses based on projects, etc. i have no idea.
13th checks are usually paid either at the end of the year, or in your birthday month (if the company wants to spread the expenses.)
and bonuses aren't taxed special. just declare your income as usual. you'll pay tax on it as per your usual salary.

Ahhhhhhh, now dealing with the counter offer from my original company who is offering considerably more then the new company's offer in the way of pay, bonus, title, choice of team, and travel. I'm now in the middle of two negotiations and this shit is stressful!!!!

If they don't end up keeping their promise, make it clear to them that you now see them as untrustworthy people. But respond as a gentleman - you're willing take double the cash value in vacation days.

you could of course just keep track of the illegally installed software all over the office computers.... and make a phone call to Adobe if they don't follow through on their promises..... almost every startup has some illegally installed software somewhere....
but that would be a low blow... hmm.....
