it’s a demonstration of how democracy is broken. It all depends on everyone to play nicely. You can cheat but if you’re caught you bow out gracefully. The checks and balances are all based on one part of the government pointing saying “we see what you did, you’re out.” But what happens when one side has no shame. What happens when they have no empathy for others?
Congress controls funding and it is explicitly not the President’s role. He is now circumventing the laws to get his agenda done without the support of Congress which should trigger an impeachment. Of course Congress is either already in his pocket or is too impotent to do anything so here we are.
Except that RSU typically require vesting, are often not liquid enough to be useful as wages and aren’t as beneficial if the company isn’t going to skyrocket and be sold off.
The issue I ran into was that my team of 3 directly generated $25M in new areas of growth in a single year causing our company to have an increase of 12% gain in our profit margin. With RSU and profit sharing I saw a two hundred dollars worth of income increase that year. The next two years the industry flopped, profits were down in all areas except my team, and we started a three year pay freeze. I did my job amazing and rather than just paying me better I had to go down with the ship.
This caused me to leave along with my two coworkers. The company couldn’t replace us and ended up scrapping our division losing out on that business.
