Ask HN: What's fair?
Hey
My company was acqui-hired while being pretty small, <10 employees, all developers except for the CEO-founder. No one reached his/hers 1-year cliff so we just got our un-vested options as RSUs in the acquirer and with a new 4-year vesting plan . So basically now, after about a year of work, we got nothing out of the acquisition. Legally I guess it's ok since that is what our contract says. But my question is do you think it's fair?
- Jeremy1026 12y agoI'd say yes. You signed that contract knowing it was a possibility. Look on the bright side, you have a viable product that will ensure employment for the foreseeable future.
- anonmann 12y agoNo I didn't think someone can just change the contract after a few months. That's exactly what happened here. Another company acquired and then changes the contracts to all the employees as it wishes. I was supposed to get all the stocks in 3.5 years now I'm going to need to wait 4 years again.
