#rsu

For those impacted, RSUs will continue to vest for 90 days after termination. So those with Feb/Mar vesting dates will have 2027 shares vested.

I have lost access to everything. No workday or email. They said my last day would be December 31st. and then the severance package would kick in. Is this what happened to most of you? Also, did they say anything about the bonuses or RSUs?

This results in a ~10,000$ pay cut to each team member on one of the most talent rich and senior teams in Service and Support. Why you ask? Well not to save a measly $550,000/year. Thats half of an X+ if you're interested. It was to align global roles. And the call came from inside the house. This was all done by a leader within the organization. Will we see a mass exodus of talent and experience leave Illumina as a result? A 10K pay cut in today's economy could break some. Remember we also lost annual RSU grants too.

look left, look right, people are leaving

erosion is real

no one has trust in omnissa

leave to take new job with real RSUs

Newly joined the company, when do the employees get bonus? Typically what is the bonus range? Are we expecting RSU during spin off? At what level do we get LTI?

If I don't get packaged out as part of these layoffs - What are the chances of getting packaged out on voluntary leave?

Otherwise, will I still get my 2026 Bonus / RSUs?

Very glad I sold my stock when I did. Wow this stock has dropped. Anyone else feeling the insane push from management? It's been brutal in our team.

My life has become a he-l.

The VP is micromanaging every minute of my life and behaving I am responsible to ensure he does not get laid off and lose all the RSU he has accumulated in millions.

SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Five9, Inc. (Nasdaq: FIVN) (“Five9” or the “Company”) today announced that on October 12, 2026, the Company granted restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”) covering an aggregate of 93,116 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Shares”) to five non-executive officer employees (collectively, the “Inducement Awards”). The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the grant of the Inducement Awards, which were each offered as a material inducement to each of the employees entering into employment with the Company, effective as of September 28, 2026. The Inducement Awards were granted under the Five9, Inc. 2026 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan. 1/3 of the RSUs will vest on September 3, 2027, and 1/12 of the RSUs will vest quarterly thereafter, so that the RSUs are fully vested on September 3, 2029, subject to the employee’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date.

I'm guessing focal is happening now. Do you know if there will be any raises, bonuses, or RSU grants this year? If so, what are they looking like?

I recently spoke to a janitor at Starlink who gets more stock than I do as a band 6 at Verizon. Meanwhile we cut our below average stock grants by 25% by increasing vesting from 3 to 4 years lol

Any guess 🤪 🤔 how much unvested stocks from laid off employees they stole the last few years?

Oracle Layoff -- Stop being bitter and angry after 20, 30+ years of loyal service and getting laid off! You made a good living and a decent salary and RSUs. No doubt, Oracle has a very brilliant and talented workforce.

I'm tired of hiring the sad stories here and LinkedIn. You should have moved on and joined a start-up, Microsoft, AWS, Google, and many other companies. Stop blaming Oracle. Take charge of your career and your destiny. Move on.

Symantec is toast and you know it. Enjoy the RSUs as long as you can.

Thread to discuss salaries anonymous so it's good to get a ball park discussion amongst all

Feel free to participate and see if this thread gets some traction. Use the most recent numbers

Senior staff, 160k base, 30k bonus, No RSU

I noticed on LinkedIn that Cadence appears to be aggressively recruiting senior R&D talent in the U.S., particularly in San Jose, where there are more than 100 job openings. After skipping RSUs in 2024 and the significant reductions in bonuses and RSUs in 2025, I believe many senior R&D engineers with more than 10 years of experience could be attracted by opportunities at Cadence.

It will be interesting to see how Sassine handles this situation. After three rounds of layoffs, the departure of even one key person could potentially create significant problems.

In a recent forum an executive enthusiastically talked about quadrupling the share price and getting investors to value our company differently. I am sure he is excited sitting in his pile of RSUs. But he forgets that for average joe employees we get nothing when the stock price goes up. Heck they cut our 401k match rather than reduce their own dividend checks. Employees get zero benefit from the stock price changing.

When I think of the next round RIF, holding RSU can be a risk.
This is what we learned this time.
We don’t have low performers anymore.

High salary
High RSU
High age
Theses are the major factors of RIF selection.

If they give me RSU, can I refuse that?

If they don’t grant me the same quantity of RSU in October that just vested for me, I’ll get a pay cut. I’m inclined to mention this to my manager if this is the case. Anyone else facing a similar situation?

Curious, if anyone else thinks there's a case here. It would seem that Oracle, grants certain employees RSUs. The intent is to get those employees to stay and remain engaged over the vesting cycle. RSUs are valuable, no matter what the stock price is.

However, part of the RIF process is to cut individuals that have large amounts prior to vesting. It's not by accident, it is a standard practice. Seems to be deceptive. I'm curious on thoughts from this community.

What happens to unvested RSU when -

1. I quit .. voluntary with notice: RSU Lost
2. Involuntary separation - fired: ?
3. Involuntary separation - RIF/Layoffs: ?
4. Voluntary separation program: ?

I received my first RSU about 6 years ago and have received a new one every year for the past 6 years.

My advice is this, do not sell. I am literally becoming rich from RSUs. I have colleagues who have sold them immediately after they vest who are now kicking themselves.

I’m not saying never sell, instead hold for a few years at least, you may get as lucky as me.

Peace

Message from management is that we give RSUs to keep high performers and close to Zero base pay increments. During layoffs we they let go of certain people because they had a large RSUs due. So the logic appears to be make people slave with the promise of a reward and then cut them close to it. Oracle will sc--w you given a chance, make sure you view and treat them with the same manner. Worst severance in the industry - so always remember this and don't work too hard for Oracle, prioritize your interest first just like Oracle does. Seen multiple of my colleagues work crazy hours and then get like this. Out manager could not save them. Now it's 60 days for some of them to find a job or get out of the country. Others are burnt out and I don't think they are in a good space to do interviews. What does the 28 million dollar devils spawn tell us in the all hands - it is a good time to be at Oracle.

Got laid off a few weeks back and have some questions on the RSUs. If stock continues to drop, should I cash these out now versus waiting until the end of my severance to get the full paycheck? I’m worried what I have in here will tank by the time I get paid out, but this is also the first company I’ve had RSUs with so it’s still confusing to me

I'm curious if US layoffs are still ongoing this week but at a smaller scale than they were on Monday. I ask cause I know people who got RSU vesting notices for the 15th 3 days before vesting, but have not gotten notices for other upcoming RSU vesting dates. Makes me wonder if that is an indicator of further layoffs?

I had an eccentric manager who was brutally honest and upfront in individual syncs. Manager was impacted yesterday. I see the focal posts, dropping what was told to me by my manager - I will fight to get you focal + RSU if you perform, but, understand Oracle is using the bad job market and AI hype to take advantage (no raises to base pay) and they use the RSU as a carrot to make you work but you might not be employed to get it - so don't work extra, do the best in your normal hours. Remote employees on our team got 3 days notice and lost RSUs. So don't work to hard, work smart and look to exit this company. USA where employees don't have good protection like our European and Asian colleagues.

Can someone explain to me why unvested RSU needs to be forfeited when you leave the company.

RSUs are given as part of compensation for the work performed for the company. How can the company take away the compensation when you leave ? Isn’t this wage theft?

Jfc ,at this rate it will touch 300 soon.

I don't even get RSUs , still as an employee, I want them to succeed, but dang this shi is tanking fast.

Wonder what the elliot vultures are thinking seeing this shi

Team,

My apologies if this question was answered already but allow me to ask once more: If we laid off this week, and we have a scheduled vested date for RSUs either this month or next month, is Oracle going to honor that or clawback those RSUs.?

RSU value in red by 45%

Each team had budget (no surprise) but also a RSU reduction as a metric!

How many RSUs do people typically get at CL24, CL25, CL26 and above for Excellent vs. Outstanding ratings?
Does Trading having different compensation structure?

If you’re not someone who owns the service at the IC4/IC5 level, you’re probably on the list. The last RIF targeted similar roles, and leadership has been pretty clear that AI is increasing productivity and that we can get more done with fewer people. So, indirectly, management is being pushed to cut IC3 and below.
One thing I’d also keep in mind is when your RSUs vest. If a significant portion of your RSUs is scheduled to vest in the next 60 days, that could be an important factor to consider. That’s just how things seem to be playing out.

For anyone who was RIF'd- how does it work with RSUs? Is that all gone or do you get paid out? I see present vesting dates are 3/1/2027 and 3/1/2028

I got displaced this Tuesday. I have some RSU locked until 2028. Do I lose all of them?

I think the only scenarios you can vest is retirement or death.

L3Harris granted its CEO Samir Mehta new stock options and restricted stock units with multi-year vesting beginning in 2027.

L3HARRIS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (LHX) reported that President and CEO Samir Mehta received new equity awards on September 1, 2026. He was granted 11,831 non-qualified stock options with an exercise price of $263.56 per share, generally vesting ratably on September 1 of 2027, 2028, and 2029 and exercisable until September 1, 2036, subject to continued employment and award terms. He also received 3,036 restricted stock units subject to three-year cliff vesting on September 1, 2029, each unit representing a contingent right to one share of common stock, with vested units settled in shares.

Finally my RSUs are starting to vest and guess what. They tanked my ranking. This is the game they play. Force you out before your RSUs vest! How can I go from top to bottom so quickly? Convenient for them!

Will I lose my RSUs if I am PIPed and fail the PIP?
