>If I worked at a place where a coworker has clearly been underperforming, but getting stocks on their way out, then that would demotivate me.

That's a completely fucked up attitude. How does someone else lucking out with more than what they technically deserve influence you in any negative way?

Because you, as coworker, bear a part of the cost of their slacking?

Every dollar wasted on useless coworkers might cost you your future workplace (because the company goes bust).

In a 10 person company this may affect whether the company is profitable or not.

Which may affect if the whole company gets a year end bonus or not.

It's also insulting in salary negotiations. The company would rather piss away cash than give me what the market would pay me?

Reasons like these are why high performers leave.
