Disney said in the award letter I received upon accepting their offer that I would be recommended a 20k LTIP (vests over 4 years at a 5k per year rate) when I was hired earlier this year. They instead hit me up a few months later informing me I would only be getting 10k for my LTIP. I am making 100k a year and my 401k company contribs don't kick in until a year from now. I have 2 years experience and I cant help but feel screwed by how cheap Disney is. I am considering getting the fuck out 4 months after hire.

Should I do it or are these benefits reasonable for a seattle full stack web dev?

    I really don't understand how it's possible to accept an offer without all compensation being set in stone, but I wouldn't stay at a company that plays games with your compensation and I'd start interviewing asap

      I was really tired when I wrote my reply but yeah, of course some comp is contingent on performance but the parameters are usually laid out in a fairly specific way and I would manage my behavior to that performance. If I didn’t hit the KPIs then I would not be surprised. However I realize that could be a grey area at some companies.

      Ouch. I hear you EPBQ13 but I’m smart and naive and ambitious enough to think I can turn Intuit into a real company.

  • Be happy they didn't ask you to train your replacements and then fire you.

      He is referring to famous news article about Americans training H1B only to get laid off and replaced by them. Lots of Americans were upset over this. My friend also told me Disney brought Indian VP in Seattle office who put his folks all over the places and Americans were leaving in drove. Sorry if you are an Indian but he was really upset about tis practice.

    Nobody that is legit full stack actually calls themselves full stack. Are you an expert in React as well as operating system tuning and distributed systems failure mode analysis?

    But yes, GTFO from Disney.

    Either they made that offer in a written offer letter, you signed it and you have grounds to sue them or they didn’t put it in writing and you just learned a valuable lesson. If it ain’t written, it ain’t so. That works both ways fwiw.
