Sure you do. They were part of your comp before you were fired, not after. Generally they're yours.

- ljm 5y agoDepends on the nature of the dismissal. In the UK, if you are fired for gross misconduct then you forfeit everything. I think in the US that being fired 'for cause' is similar to this, but perhaps not as strong as the allegation of gross misconduct. Is gross misconduct present in this article? I can't say. But the author does not paint a positive image for themselves. I don't really sympathise with the author, either. He's just boasting about money on the table that he could afford to say no to. He's an asshole, I don't care for him. Perhaps Gitlab fired him because he was a jerk. Who knows, who cares.
- outworlder 5y agoMost employment in the US is 'at will'. You do not need a cause.
- avgcorrection 5y agoGiven how terrible labor laws are for employees in the US, I would never assume anything negative about an American based on the mere fact that they were fired from some job. Being a Fired American isn’t some stigma that one needs to “spin”.
