Airbnb employees unhappy with IPO delays
http://tiny.cc/khe5cz Could any Airbnb blinder chip in?
Lol pissed they have to stay longer before they get to cash out
Nobody has to stay longer. Once you vest your RSUs they’re yours. People leave all the time. But yeah, we’re pissed it’s taking so long.
Lol. How is it a “delay” if Airbnb never said they are going public in specific year . Employees or outsiders can keep predicting it to be 2018 or 2019 or 2020, does not mean its being delayed if company never committed to it . This is the first time Airbnb has made a public statement about when it plans to go public . Now if this moves to 2021 or 2022, that’s when you can say it got delayed About unhappiness, since company never promised to anyone that they will go public by a specific time period, it’s not company’s fault if people keep their happiness tied to whatever date they have set in their mind of going public . I for one thinks company has lot of people who knows when it’s best to go public as that’s their job, so I am happy with whatever time company chooses . I understand not everyone is in same state in life and some people has needs for liquid money but that doesn’t mean company should take the decision it cannot standby
The same was the case with uber as everyone was so hoping for the moon assuming that uber will touch 100$ minimum and now looking at current stock price which is almost 30% less than 409A they are all pissed again..hoping we atleast get the promised 409a value.. Hang in
Airbnb is profitable though
Which is the problem.Are they growing?
