This article didn't mention how holders can be extra hurt by tanking IPOs due to taxes. Many companies release their RSUs at IPO (often withholding too little tax) and then you are locked up, as the price may fall. You can't write off the capital loss occurred during the lockup against the ordinary income from the RSU release, meaning take home is even less than price would suggest. No idea why companies don't wait until end of lockup to release the RSUs.
