A practice I've seen in asset management firms:

(1) To assume high level roles, you must invest $LARGE_SUM_OF_MONEY in funds managed by the company.

(2) After leaving, you get back your money after $FAIR_AMOUNT_OF_YEARS. That's done as an incentive for folks to think long term.

Not sure how you could do that in a company as large as G or A though.

That’s what getting paid in equity is for. If you burn the company down, your salary declines. Of course at 100k people, your impact is small unless you’re a VP+.
