Five on one hundred. Fifteen on ninety five. Forty on eighty and three fourths. Forty on forty and forty-five hundredths. Then twenty on thirty eight and seventy six hundredths. Ad infinitum -- IF your performance is "up to par." Pro-tip: Very rarely is it ever.

Your stock options will never be fully vested. At around 8 years you'll be nearing 100%. That is, if you're: not fired/dead from exhaustion/dead from others.

You get an annual "bonus" as well. It's not a bonus and it's not called that. It's an advance on salary. It's the justification for your lower-compared-to-industry salary. It's null too if you're gone before the year is up.

So no, sir. Your facts are wrong.

Have you redeemed your options? Do you know vesting rate is on adjusted (logarithmic) and not gross (cumulative)? Do you know you have to give notice before you redeem them? Do you know your options become null if you're terminated? Do you know what they call people around here that redeem their options?

Saying that I'm crucified to the coffee table that's referred to as a Desk (TM) around here, would be an understatement.

Ever since G's cronies have been revising the "non-solicitations."

If anyone but upper management was getting AMZN stock options. Everyone else gets RSUs and the RSU vesting rates are ridiculous. 4 years to be able to vest less than 50% of my options? And then at the end of those 4 years the only people getting increased comp rates are management?

You can fuck right off, Benzos.

As well as the annual "bonus." It's not a bonus. It's a stack of money on a string that they'll pull away from you if you leave before the year's up.

Crunch time isn't worth it for half of what Adobe would be paying me.
