In many circumstances, most commonly just prior to a merger, (a) the employer has a special need to retain key talent and/or legacy knowledge, and (b) the employee has a special need for job security or its “cousin,” financial security. These two needs are commonly satisfied by a “retention bonus or arrangement,” sometimes called a “stay put plan.” Here is how you can request one, without seeming to be threatening or hostile. - Comp 4 – Memo Requesting Changes to Retention Bonus Agreement

This model memo includes the eight most common changes people request, and shows you “What to Say, and How to Say It.”™
