What say? One time annual stock vesting (the entire year's stock vested at the end of the year of tenure - 0 stocks even if missed by a day). It's a scam. What say?
Quarterly vesting is a scam too
are annual bonuses also a scam? annual vest makes sense for early career employees with tiny grants. no one else would accept it.
Join Netflix or Roku then
Join Amazon. They vest their bonus monthly.
The bigger issue would be the time value of money you are losing by not getting access to that money sooner.
