4 years from launch? Seems excessive.
- prisoner655321 4y agoThis is very common and almost always predicted. 4 years is the end of the initial stock vest. If you don't get a major promotion, or even two, your compensation takes a nose dive. It's no wonder they left.
- solomatov 4y agoCompanies like AAPL give refreshers especially to the key people. The fact that they left to GOOG most likely means that the search engine isn't that high on the priority list of Apple right now.
- isatty 4y agoRefreshers aren’t going to be high enough (I don’t know about exec compensation though) to avoid the cliff. Promotions are the only way.
- astrange 4y agoRefreshers are high enough to do that at Apple (or not). There aren’t enough levels to get promoted, and the stock keeps going up.
- prisoner655321 4y agoThe stock going up is what kills it. Apple’s stock has gone bananas the last 4 years, no refresher is going to beat or match that.
- JKCalhoun 4y agoLikely the initial shares were the an order of magnitude larger than the refreshers?

- sidibe 4y agoApple isn't starting on the same planet in terms of infrastructure. The actual search stuff would be the tip of the iceberg in terms of what they need to build to get to parity with Google in search
- purpleblue 4y agoApple Maps took 10 years before it was usable and dare I say, it's actually better in many respects that Google Maps or Waze. The only reason why I use Waze is because I trust that they have better traffic and police updates. But Apple Maps navigation is much, much better with their "At the next stop sign, turn right", or "Make a u-turn at the next traffic lights." That's a really great way to navigate.
