I have been an Amazon employee and like most of you I have collected the RSUs and have invested money. My partner works as a consultant for one of the big 4 (PWC, EY..) and we recently started living together. They do not work in taxation or audit. Does this affect my ability to hold onto my stock? Also this company audits Amazon which is why I am worried. My RSU relationship with my employer is independent i believe and unsure if I do get affected. Divesting in a bear market is not something I would like to do. Does anyone have any prior experience with this? I am happy to share my financial disclosures but also don't want to be put on the spot to divest or limit my investments into atleast index funds going forward.
Any updates on this?
Upvote because I'm in a similar boat. My spouse works for a Big Four and from what I've gathered spouse's current employment benefits (RSUs, ESPP etc.) need not be divisted. But the moment you leave your current employer, apparently you are supposed to sell all your previous employer's stocks? The feeling is the same as you - I do not want to sell the stocks I currently own when market is heading to bear territory.
Any latest update on this?
You might have to divest depending on their policy
