Sounds like they were talked into profit sharing instead of equity and now the profit sharing won’t apply at Intuit so they likely got almost nothing from it

If you cannot live on base pay alone, take different job. Everything above that is just a bet on the future, one that can go well or not.

Sure but it doesn’t mean your employer should lie to you to keep all the shares for themselves
