>For example, if someone wants to leave, but the bonus or vesting is coming up, they will stay, and you don't want people on a project who don't want to be there. People shouldn't stay at a company based on money? Isn't money one of the main factors causing people to stay at a company? Or are you more saying they're staying only for a few months then quitting? Yeah, I see that. But maybe the answer isn't to get rid of bonuses and equity, but rather to spread them out over a long time. Don't have yearly stock vests, instead have monthly ones spread out over a year or more.
