     This all applies retrospectively too, with the exception of when I worked at Microsoft 2020-2021. They gave me a $1 share.

     @weddige I think they gave me something like £40k shares but I left before they vested, I had to wait another year to get them and yolo’d out of it

     @GossiTheDog isn't the idea of giving employees shares to make them more invested in the success of the company? They should have given you at least $5!
