I turned down my Amazon offer saying you are stock vesting plan is unfair. The recruiter's comeback was "We are all leaders here!"

At least I tried.



> "We are all leaders here!"

As a Amazon refugee, that is the funniest fucking thing I've read all day. We're all cowering, downtrodden, abused leaders here!


what was unfair about it?


Everyone else vests roughly 25% every year over 4 years.

Amazon was something like 15%/15%/30%/30% over 4. It's not very pro employee.
