    Equity is good. It encourages people to give a shit as to whether a product is launched or not and so forth.

    The issue is more that we have this convoluted scheme to let people cash out their shares throughout their time with the company because it makes 'total compensation" higher

    Personally? I would have almost no issues if it were just put into an escrow account and treated more like a retirement/severance package. Working at InterTrode? Those shares are untouchable. Leave InterTrode? YOLO.

      I always thought there should be a minimum hold time. Somewhere between 1-5 years after they leave their position.

      It encourages them to think long term instead of just the next quarter, and they really have to leave the company in a better place than they found it.
