Reply to comment by gqreader in Amazon Corporate Workers Face Pay Reduction After Shares Slip by brooklynlad

I’m an Amazon corp worker, I made 48k last year working full time.

I get paid in RSUs.

Then you should have negotiated a different salary or not taken the job.

Taking an RSU heavy compensation package is a high risk/high reward situation. If you chose to accept that - that's 100% on you.

There wouldn't be anyone writing an article if Amazon stock doubled and your pay was 2x what you had projected. This is just how RSU's work.

I didn’t negotiate salary at all or know what it was until I was working (internal transfer) and yes, I’m lioking for other jobs. Not that easy right now. I worked my way up from a temp worker taking calls for customer service to a corp worker.

Most of my pay isn’t in RSUs. I’m just pointing out that this isn’t just effecting the top peeps.
