This is no different from how Amazon does targeted compensation, where rising stock price means you get less/no refresher and raises, or all-cash comp at Netflix.
It's catering to more risk-averse candidate pool.
- valdiorn 5y agoHaving worked somewhere where I had a large deferred bonus, which I had to walk away from after the company turned hostile very quickly, I'd much, MUCH prefer to get my bonus paid out at the end of each year, vs. having it deferred, even if I have to take a hit on overall comp instead. You just can't estimate how compatible you and your employer will be 4 years in the future.
- patrickmn 5y agonever even heard of that kind of bonus. it sounds like it's designed to work exactly this way.
- lumost 5y agoAmazon does targeted comp 2 years in the future. While in theory the company may act to make people whole in a given year. This will practically occur via dive and saves or truly exceptional circumstances such as the stock suddenly dropping 2-4x and new hire grants effectively becoming non-competitive.
