TC: 300K I accepted the offer from Salesforce a month ago. Between then and now, Splunk stock has increased significantly. Does it make sense to ask Salesforce to revise the RSU component of the offer to match the current stock price? Has anyone gone through such a situation? #salesforce #rsu #offer
Unless you’re prepared to not go through with your offer if they don’t, no, it does not make sense.
Do it unless you want it to backfire. Be prepared to lose the whole offer.
Why would they revoke the offer? Worst case they will say no, isn't it?
Worst case is you’re left with nothing. It would be deserving. If you wanted more, you should have counter offered instead of accepting it.
Try it and let us know how it goes
Haha sure I will if I do it
Yeah, I would vote with the guys earlier. If you accepted offer - there is no way back. Stonks are going up and down, in a year maybe Salesforce would conquer the market and it stonks would rise 10 times - are you ok with losing 10 times of your RSU because when you signed on the sum was lower? Same shit here
There nothing wrong in trying, if it comes it’s fine
What if Splunk had gone down
When they made their offer, they accepted some financial risk (what if Saleforce stock goes way up? What if Splunk goes way down? Then we overpaid for him!) When you accepted the offer, you accepted the opposite side of those risks. I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be hearing this from you if _Salesforce_ stock had just zoomed up. Legally, you can back out, and so can they. But backing out for this sort of reason is dishonorable. Yeah, go ahead and call me old fashioned. Now, if your mother had just developed a serious health problem, and you realized you had to stay with her, and couldn't move to take the job, then that's a *real* reason to back out of an offer.
I am not going to back out either! And Salesforce RSU offer is $ amount and not number of stocks. So their price change isn't a factor here.
Isn't "backing out" *exactly* what you are talking about? Weren't you asking about going back to Salesforce and saying, "Remember that agreement we had? Well, you need to sweeten the pot, if you actually want me to come." Or did I misunderstand what you were saying? As for the dollar amount of stock, that weakens my argument about mutual risk by eliminating the risk around Salesforce stock value, but it still leaves the mutual risk assumed around the value of Splunk stock (a lesser risk for Saleforce, certainly).
I would withdraw the offer if someone I offered a position to did this. If you can’t stick to what you say you’ll do I don’t want you reporting to me
Good luck
