> If you walked away during the Pivot or anytime before you had your investment before it was there for you, you would lose it all. And I'm not talking a little bit of money. I'm talking: I had a couple hundred thousand dollars coming to me.

What exactly are people in HR doing to warrant getting over $200k in stock grants? Even spread over an entire vesting schedule (and it's not, it's just the final vest) that's ludicrous for the work they do.




I'm gonna be the devils advocate here:

If someone in HR can save a company hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars by removing underperforming workers, and replacing them with better workers, shouldn't that warrant some bonus?

In the same way that if some engineer discovers a bug that is costing the company a lot of money, and fixing it, should also get a bonus?

How often does this happen?


Laying off lots of people isn't fun?


Neither is laying concrete but those guys aren't getting a quarter million in stock every 4 years, despite having a more positive effect on the economy.
