Not getting a bonus doesn't sound unreasonable to me. It sounds like it's probably payment for the previous year, which you weren't really there for. When I was in asset management, my firm didn't pay unless you were there substantially most of the year (and thus contributed to returns, etc). I think stub period bonuses are more common in other areas (private equity, investment banking).

 

The timing and frequency of bonuses, and especially whether you would receive a stub bonus, should have been clarified up front. Normally in this type of situation where you're working 4-5 months of a semiannual bonus period you would receive a stub bonus. It sounds like you didn't ask about that, and they didn't pay one, so I would chalk it up to a lesson learned.
