unfortunately the whole idea of unvested options actually gives companies incentives to fire engineers. If a big chunk comes around late in the 4 yrs, then "opps we outsourced your job 1 week before vesting 90% of your options." . I would love to think no one would do this, but its happened to me (and the rest of the team) 9 months into our vesting. As well people get funny when a lot of money is involved, nice people do abnormal things when millions/billions are on the line.
