A friend in Microsoft said he got special stock in his performance review. How does special stock work ?
The dividends are paid out in hand jobs
What's the SSA packet like? 100k in stocks?
This year Microsoft unexpectedly give surprise bonus/stock to few employees.
It makes you feel special. That’s how it works 😅😂🤣
It's an attempt at retention, and only for certain levels.
Is it possible to get it next year if you did not get it this year?
Only the developers got it. Not every dev is happy. It’s a ripe time for other companies to sweep in and hire great talent
Not true. At least PMs got it too. But they had to get 140% target in the performance review to get it.
Designers also got it
Vests over 4 years, 20/20/30/30. Some number between 0 and level-based cap awarded to many FTEs this year. Probably to compete with FAANG TC.
