Amazon compensation - stock

If stock price goes down and hence the target TC is impacted, will Amazon give additional shares? TC : $240k ($155k + stock)

On related note, if the average pay increase is 3%, will it be base only or combination of base and stock?

And if the stock goes up, they will take them away

Almost, they just withold refreshers and bonuses to penalize you.

True?

They have always claimed they would do this but I would wager jeff will say we are part of a family and we rise and fall together so get back to work.

They aren't going to risk an outflux of solid engineers over peanuts. Amazon knows it's always been able to bank good engineers on its stock price. They'll end up with a staff of low output engineers.

They already tricked thousands of engineers to work for low comp, back weighted vesting, and no perks...

L6 - PM-T

I am stunned they improved their comp. that much. In 2015, it was 160k for that level.

For L6 : Senior PM-T?

Bloomberg Fork() Feb 5, 2019

L5 SDE. PM-T general is slightly more than a SDE a level below (now at least)

No not unless it goes way down and stays down for an unknown amount of time

Amazon hsl44428q Feb 5, 2019

It's a 30 day average the month before reviews. So it's literally a known amount of time.
