Because of stock dilution

What was your RSU refresh after your Year End Conversations?

Please include your level and performance rating.

I see the agony on this site. Many of you are uncertain about your future.

I just want to share with you. In a team call, CEO said a couple of years ago. “I love it. It’s like playing a video game, haha haha” It was in the context of managing
the business and reorganizing people. I know many of you probably we on the call. It’s really sad, but it’s the reality of the tech business. I never expected to hear from a CEO.
But, he really is transparent. Enjoys the RSUs. It all fun and video games.

Did anyone who got impacted recently managed to get their RSUs vested sooner as part of the package?

Does anyone know what the typical value of RSU grants are once you hit JG14 and then 15, 16, and 17? I’ve heard $25k annual grants starting at JG14 but unsure if that’s correct?

Thanks for the insight!

Anyone know how to cash in the ones we got stuck holding onto for 3 years until a few months ago?

Did you receive your RSU for this year already or is it still unvested? How long after your separation date it became available to withdraw?

If I bet my life on anything, it’s American Exceptionalism rooted in integrity, excellence, and courage.
Working alongside our global teams has only reinforced it: no other country comes close.

Yet stepping back, it’s clear how offshoring and outsourcing to low-cost, low-capability paired with unchecked onshore importing,
has frayed the very fabric of this nation.

These are people who haven’t invented or dominated in any meaningful field beyond cheap IT services.
What the he-l are we doing?
These jobs belong to American workers.
Have we done nearly enough to build the skills of those in weaker economic corners? There are proven ways to give back: rigorous education, hands-on training, community engagement . Lift them into the middle class and show them how capitalism actually works: through merit, productivity, and upward mobility.
Instead, too many short-sighted, narcissistic managers chase RSU windfalls by flooding teams with cheap bodies, piling up technical debt and hollowing out our edge.
Enough. Everyone must do their part,whatever it takes. No excuses. . It’s now or never.

Can someone please share the terms of the latest LR packages? Looking to understand how many months pay / year of service, how long health care runs for, what happens to RSU's etc.

Anyone else RSU grants completely out of whack

Anyone know?

Message from my M5 NA squash friend is that they will be pushing lower rankings to all in reviews and employees will be stack ranked. There will be reviews across each GBUs. M5 suspects another round of cuts coming. For those with manager hate here - cuts will also be coming in for M level. The initial step per M5 was getting those with few reports to IC in FY 26. Many long term managers are understandably struggling in IC roles so cutting them on performance criteria in FY 27 will create no legal issues. Exact timeline not clear at the moment per M5 and he said he is prepping to be let go and hopes he at least lasts untill his RSUs/options vest. The RSU/options vest at M5 NA are 500K-1M - WOW - I don't think it was a lie. My Senior Developer RSU is 7.5 percent of that like WTF.

Any advice?

Has anyone else’s 2026 RSU grant been awarded yet? My compensation statement said it would be on May 29th. I’ve not received any emails regarding accepting the grant.

Does it take a few days? Maybe I’m not recalling the timeline correctly.

Stop crying about being laid off. You have spent 20, 30, 25 years and feel betrayed. Enjoy the millions in the 401K and move on. Pathetic.

I spent 15 years at Oracle and was laid off a few years ago. I worked with many of the people who were recently let go. You are talented, highly intelligent, and among the company's top performers.

The reality is that tech companies eventually reach a point where they can no longer justify paying top dollar, top bonuses, and large RSU packages to the same employees year after year, regardless of performance. Many of you have earned substantial compensation and built successful careers.

Being laid off is never easy, but at some point it's important to move forward rather than seek sympathy. Take pride in what you've accomplished, leverage your experience, and focus on the next opportunities.

RIF employee here and my separation agreement contradicts what SNPS had Etrade do with all non-vested RSUs.

All of my 2023 and 2024 RSUs that were awarded during that period should have been fully vested right away. The 2025 RSUs should be fully vested all the ones that would have vested in the next 12 months from the terminate date.

They canceled all of them.

Calling SNPS stock services right now so everyone affected by the RIF should check their etrade account.

Cisco is a pump and dump for Chuck and the board. Cisco doesn't innovate anymore, it just buys other companies, slaps the Cisco logo on it, and calls it macaroni. The ONLY way Cisco can boost the stock price is by (A) laying off employees or (B) Buying something. But it's short term ..the stock goes up for a bit , levels off and comes back down. If you have or get RSU, (more like IOU) it's a carrot on a stick. When they lay you off you lose any unvested stock. Start looking for jobs but if your in good financial shape, hold on as long as possible until your RSUs vest. The layoffs will pick up the pace, export more within 6 months. DON'T VOLUNTEER ANY AUTOMATION IDEAS! Your sc--wing your co-workers over. Make yourself as indispensable as possible by taking on as much work as possible (especially if your customer billable). If you work in Collab/WebEx ..time to change technology path...learn SDWAN or Security.

Did we notice a pattern here in all tech layoffs ? lot of 1-3 year experienced who got joining stocks or stocks at executive range are thrown out. Same happened with Oracle and now with Meta.
We all know Oracle was faking around the hikes and promotions with just 2 words: Longevity and Stocks. Both are gone now.

• 16 weeks base salary
• 2 weeks per year worked
• 18 months of healthcare

I haven't heard anything on how they are handling RSUs. I know Cisco accelerated RSU vesting through August. Oracle seems to be the new low in employee severance.

Can anyone elaborate on what happens with RSU's if you are currently getting package? I'm looking for specifics (in advance of next round) so I can plan accordingly. I'm assuming you just get the 60 days on payroll to vest but hoping they may forward vest some. Retirement eligible may be a variable also.

Thanks in advance. Good luck to all.

We have no money for you it belongs to the Execs.

DXC Technology reported that EVP, CES Venkataraman Ramanathan received an equity grant in the form of restricted stock units. The award covers 158,155 shares of common stock, granted at no cash cost per share as part of compensation.

Each RSU converts into one share of common stock when it vests. The RSUs are scheduled to vest in three equal annual installments beginning May 12, 2027, spreading the benefit over several years. After this award, Ramanathan holds a total of 244,935 shares of common stock, including unvested RSUs.

It doesn’t matter to who are already let go, but it matters a lot to who are there absorbing heavy workload and on call’s. Leadership can take some more stupid decision on AI data center expansion and betting on OpenAI. As you all know OCI is outdated and old fashioned cloud it can never win cloud race.
Oracle will again do layoffs for employees who has RSU vesting in upcoming quarter. Please create public pressure and sign petition and change RSU vesting to quarterly.

Do the employees who were laid off get paid out on their vestedRSUs and vacation days? There was no reference to it in the payout document I saw

Oracle ate all the RSU’s of laid off employees, cruel employer who didn’t pay for hard work. Oracle recruiters always push for equity compensation to inflate overall total compensation.

They su---r employees with RSUs and then just get them back in a layoff….to be given to the next group of su-kers

Ok, what is actually happening with GFS price. Is it organic in any way or is it merely resultant of including Apple in recent headlines?

Those of you involved inESPP as well as those receiving RSU should be very interested in the answer.

As a VP, I am required to give 30 days notice to keep RSU and be eligible for rehire. I currently work in controls (second line of defense) but will be joining another competitor bank as an WIM client Advisor.
The last thing I need is ~30 days of no pay due to being let go by WF soon after giving my 30 days notice. What are the chances I will be let go soon after giving 30 days notice?

At least for the 19,100 employees reduced since March 2025 according to Q1 2026 financial news release.

Congrats to those that remain on the increased value of your retained RSU and outlook.

Feeling good about the stock price? Look at tech stock returns over any period and cry. Your RSUs are pathetic compared to the wealth engine that RSUs are at tech companies.

If you have grant emails there are opportunities to claim your RSU even if it is maturing in September. You have to walk through your clauses for potential claims and present to HR.

Hey everyone,
Given the recent situation, I was curious (only if you’re comfortable sharing) — how much RSU value did you end up losing due to the layoffs or unvested grants?

If rumors are true with a May LR do you still receive RSUs that vest in June and July? There’s usually a 2 month period where you’re still technically an employee, right?

I guess this is the revenge phase of layoff grief... sue because of H1Bs, sue because of RSUs, sue because your blue... I have never seen so many posts regarding potential litigation yet no one has provided any proof. You will need proof when you get to court. Don't forget the law suit will show up in public records so win or lose it will show up in your next pre-employment background check. Are you going to sue again when your potential future employer suddenly doesn't hire you?

The chance of winning is 90%, and you can find a lawyer who will take the case for 10–25% of the RSUs. It is well established that laying off employees before RSUs vesting in 6 months is illegal, not to mention immoral.

The options language for E1s and above say a “change in ownership or Control” would trigger all unvested RSUs to vest so you don’t have to wait the continuous 3 years cycles for all your options to vest.

Did that actually happen with the sale?

So after 30 years I got the email. I had unvested RSUs that would have been worth $15K at today’s price. The thing is they were given as incentive to stay with the company so if they are not going to let you stay they should vest. Just another final way to sc--w you on the way out the door. That money isn’t going to do Larry any good where he is headed.

The budgets are in. Salary increases are unimpressive. RSU allotments are a complete joke. Don't worry, though, the least inspiring CEO of all time is getting paid plenty for his tip-top layoff skills.
