I hate that article. It's not a direct wealth transfer. Using that logic you could argue _anything_ is a direct wealth transfer. Why not claw back bonuses and even salaries too while you're at it? I'm a founder. If someone works with me for three years then has to move on, they've earned their equity. I want them to keep it and root for us from the sidelines. It's sweat equity, not "stay until a liquidity event" equity. Especially with founders themselves starting to more aggressively take money off the table using secondaries (which aren't always offered to their employees).

Also, if you're a founder, note that your lawyers will almost certainly towards 90-day windows (and your investors might too). It might take some work to get something more employee-favorable.
