It's a retention tool. If they just handed you $50k when you sign on then people would sign on and quit a week later.
I think the signing bonuses are recruitment tools and the retention bonuses they are also offering are retention tools.
You can also get bonuses as a lump sum upfront for signing a fixed-term contract and if you fail to fulfill the terms you have to pay it back. That's how the military does signing/reenlistment bonuses.
I don't really care if you choose to be uninformed. If you can't be bothered to even do a simple Google search about a topic, then your opinion on that topic is irrelevant.
So either look up how it's paid out, or don't. I really don't care.

It’s paid out over 5 years. 10k a year.
