yeah, I’m talking about Amazon, given the title of the post. I turned down an offer at Goog and came from Msft for 13 years. Unfortunately Amazon has the worst stock grant program of the 3. There is essentially no addressing down year stock performance, you hold on tight and hope it does better in future years, or you quit and go get paid somewhere else.

the RSU refresh does not hit for a couple years. so this year, no, you don't get additional compensation, you are stuck with 40-50% less compensation.
