Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : A little back story about those friend and me vs bonuses:
We usually do the same job with three or more, in which one joins and he refers the others, because those jobs usually give a bonus varying between 50 and 200 bucks. I've always been fair at the deals we made, where the first person refers the others and splits each bonus with the person he got the bonus for. Which always means the first at the company needs to learn how the job is done, explains it to the others and gets 50% of the total amount for explaining and managing it all.

So a few years ago, I would refer 6 people, which would grant me 150$ per person, of which each of them 6 would get 50$, which basically means everyone would end up with 50 and I would end up with 600. After I referred the first(I'll call him Bob for now), I then explained the job to everyone. And then Bob referred the others behind my back, though I did the work for it. So he basically made 550 off me.

They basically broke the deal and soon after we didn't talk much anymore. Now with other friends I'm still having the same compromise.

I would explain everything to em and then refer the both of em. Each one would grant me 100 bucks, I then would split each bonus in half and keep 100 bucks in total myself.
Now the second guy, just told me he's gonna grt referred by the first guy I referred myself, after I explained everything. Normally I wouldn't make a big deal out of it. But the reason why he did this, is "because the first guy needs it for a big holiday", while I'm just working to finance my study.

TL:DR

I made a deal of referring two people, granting each of em 50 bucks and myself 100 bucks, then behind my they changed so one of them gets more. I now feel like keeping my bonus myself.
