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

That is totally crazy, but not totally surprising.

I am a compensation consultant in "big tech". I am often asked to build out YoY Comp models (typically at the Director level) for recruiters to use during their offer.

These models make tons of assumptions about future performance and future stock price. They're not meant to guarantees and they're not meant to be shared with the candidate. I've had recruiters share these models with candidates multiple times, which then puts us in a tough spot and creates a negative experience for the candidate when we go back and say this wasn't actually your comp.

That’s exactly what happened here. It’s been a gold rush for getting good recruits so recruiters bent the rules a bit to finish the deal. Now Amazonians are upset that recruiters told them something that the company may have not agreed to. It’s also possible Amazon did plan to honor this and are going back on their word too.
