"I’m hoping for their value bottoming around the time I join, cause that maximizes the number of RSUs I get for the nominal value in my contract."

You already explained this in your parent comment.

"After that I’ll be hoping for their stock to shoot up of course."

Why would it suddenly shoot up after you join? Assuming you're not joining as CEO, of course.

"And that’s the scenario OP was outlining."

What are you referring to? This scenario was not outlined in the original NYT article nor in my root comment.

Sorry, didn’t realize I was replying to you (= OP).

I was referring to this scenario:

>The stock will have to tank for at least another 3-6 months before the prospect of a shareholder revolt will finally motivate the board of directors to put an adult in charge.

If this happens then there’s potential for the stock to bounce back. Of course me joining would have nothing to do with it, but it would be my best-case scenario.
