Let me give you an example. I was given 100k of stock options when I started my company. They vest in three years. We just got notified of layoffs and recently our stock doubled. I’m my opinion we don’t need layoffs. Just let attrition takes its course and we’d right size in under a year.
As such, people will lose a lot of money by being laid off since they’ll lose all their options. They should vest automatically. It’s almost like they do layoffs to avoid paying th options.
Corporations are never your friends or in your corner.
Always have a backup plan, because they’ll cut you loose with nothing at a moments notice.
Louder for the gamers in the back: Corporations were never your friends, and they never had your interests in mind nor the interests of the people who actually made your game great.
Some corporations are less worse than others, but they are the exception, not the rule.
