A comment on Ask HN: Firing an employee under a month before vest?. Parent comment
Agreed. We don't have all the facts but management is not without blame.
> Doing it when the vestment date comes up just reeks of shortsightedness to the point of vindictiveness. Immaturity.
I've made my point repeatedly that the gains from paying it out are also shortsigted and may not be worth it, so no need to repeat.
Compensating people who don't deserve it pisses people off. Maybe those people are immature, but they do include your best performers too.
Like I said, no perfect solution. Management (arguably) caused the situation, and there's no perfect fix.
