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.
