You expect a new job to pay you for giving up your stock options you are giving up?

But wouldn't you also lose the stock if you are laid off?

Can someone answer this? What is “stock buyout” in this context?

. She probably means RSUs that haven’t vested?

My problem is almost all my coworkers are approaching retirement, or just waiting to retire. I have 20 years to go easily. I realized this when I got a comment during a networking event about, "Geez, what are you doing in that team? I thought you had to be dead to be there". Am I shooting myself by staying in this cushy job?!

Any stories out there?

Consider removing your picture from LinkedIn and anything from your resume that would blatantly identify you as white.

Anonymous wrote:Your worry about getting replaced by someone cheaper isn’t going to go away in the next 20 years. So ya look for a new job. Consider a pay cut for a job that is better respected and will show you are capable of a more demanding job and has promotion potential. Certainly sounds like you are capable, but don’t really want the more demanding job due to work life balance.
