“Resigned after retention bonus”

I was treated poorly after giving back retention bonus. HR interviewed me but the practice manager blacklisted me.

What I wish I knew
"To research company culture before accepting retention bonus"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be cautious of retention bonuses and company culture"
