Yeah. Probably because he had 2% of the options, and they wanted to claw it back from him.

I don’t think firing gets rid of vested options, right?

Right, but OP said he was fired before he had options vested.

So he took 2% options at a 50% pay cut, but then got fired and that screwed him out of the 2% options before he could vest.

Welcome to the valley.
