Yeah, when I was getting hiried on at company they were raving about tgeir bonuses they give out and they were on track on making a good one that year. Fast forward 5 months I was laid off no bonus for me.
Before that I worked for a company for 9 years gave stocks that only had value when an event happens. Well I lost my stock because they laid me off right before the event (they got sold to T-Mobile)
Yeah, I had equity with a nearly exponential vesting function where I got a whopping $2,000 after being laid off after two years.
I started at another company where “bonuses have historically been 100%” only to hit the first time they were 80%, then 25% and never recovered.
I was at a third company that loaded me up with stock options, only to have a purchase price that was $20 over the current market value and it never came close again.
Fuck all that.
