Tesla laid off my disabled veteran husband then cancelled his sign on bonus

So now everyone who wants to leave the company will be a negative force, hoping to be fired. Not such a great idea.

Vesting is fine as a concept. Just understand that whatever dollar amount to they're telling you is something you have the chance to earn over a period of time. It's not a bonus.

So it's not a bonus, it's a loaded roll of the dice?

I think there is merit in having immediate vesting in the case of no-fault dismissal. It's the company choosing to terminate the contract unliaterally, the employee has fulfilled his part of the deal.

Then vest over a reasonable period of time, like weekly or monthly, and not annually?

That seems reasonable. But from my understanding the complaint was that someone was promised $x over four years and then let go after two years, and lost $x/2.
