Ok, this was a new one for me. Business Insider outlines a policy at PC Gaming company, Riot Games, to pay any employees (within their first 60 days) 10% of their base salary (up to $25k) if they decide to leave because they find that there isn’t a fit. I think it’s a great idea that supports making all parties happy. However, as the article mentions, it would be a bit of a misstep to hire a $250k employee only to have them quit within 60 days, so I do hope they have a robust hiring process. I would expect a multi-step process that included the hiring manager, peers and direct reports (as applicable), along with both technical and cultural fit aspects.
