Career dilemma - put up with 9 months of torture for $3 million?

[Anonymous]

Think about somebody working for $60k in a job they hate to get health insurance.
But oooh not being wanted is worth losing over a million for?
Get a lawyer. You are not being rational and you need a legal agreement.

Is this a joke? Your feelings for nine months versus $3 million? This is a completely tone deaf post. Most people would jump at that opportunity in a heartbeat and many people are abused and demoralized at work for infinitely less money. Put your ego aside and get a grip on yourself.

thank you for that! you are absolutely right, I have let myself get into my head, and lost perspective and good sense. I think I will stay and let this see how this plays out. Even if I leave with nothing, I have much more than most will ever dream of having.

It's about $45K a day or $225K a month. I'd probably suck it up.

You would make more in 2 days than I do for a year, OP. I’ll come do your job and we can split 50/50

Which is about $6,500 a day if you include weekends, or $9,000 a day if you don’t. I can’t even.

Agree.

Work for 9 mos get the vested stock, meanwhile line up a new position.

Get the money.

Think like a man!

Of course I would do this, but I really don't think you have a strong chance of being able to stay that long if the CEO wants you gone in under 6.

I would broach him to leave sooner, but ask for severance to cover the stock that you’ll forfeit.

The issue is whether you go for the 9 months and risk him taking the severance package off the table and then firing you before you vest. Can you get an real agreement on this? I sort of doubt it would be enforceable. What leverage to do you have to get him to stick to the 9 months?

This. You need it in writing
