If you have invested RSUs and are let go, what happens to them?

In 2015, they vested 50% of unvested RSUs about a month after the effective termination date -part of the severance agreement
@a2 accelerated vesting is absolutely a thing. It's very common to have a portion of your RSUs vest (either immediately or before termination) as part of your severance package. Not saying that's what they will do here, but it's not unreasonable to hope for that (especially with the stock price tanking, it's a cheap carrot to keep severed employees quieter).
depends on the level.
@a4 is this a theoretical question? i was relatively sure that RSUs were only granted at annual review and mid-year review. i guess if you get promoted into a role where suddenly equity becomes a big part of it, you could get RSUs outside of that cadence.
what if the stocks vest within the two month pay period until January 3 like they mention in the article?
They go away. They do not vest and there's no negotiating that. Its a legal thing.
Unvested. Meant to say *Unvested
