So are the RSU grants typically done as a fixed number of shares or is it adjusted based on how much those shares are worth on the market? For example, if the stock price tumbled would new offers be granted more shares to make up for the collapse in value to keep the overall compensation the same?

If the stock price collapses, many employees lose their homes.

Nobody knows what will happen when the inevitable finally happens.

Maybe the companies will step in and make employees mostly whole. Maybe they will have to in order to keep their best people.

Or maybe the gravy train will end.

All anyone can tell you for sure is that the companies will continue to pay what is required to get the people they need, and no more.

I'm sure it depends on the company, but my company grants a dollar amount and figures out how many shares add up to that amount. If the stock price tumbled I would get more shares next time I get a refresher grant, because more shares would be needed to add up to the dollar amount the company would grant me.
