Tell HN: Splunk Forces Managers to Withhold RSUs
8 by thisisntright | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I’m a manager at Splunk and I’m livid. This has been happening for years, but I honestly can’t take it anymore. Splunk forces us managers to choose people from our team to not get a focal refresh, regardless of if it’s deserved, based on some internal figure they’ve generated. If they decide 80% of employees get their RSU refresh, and I have 10 people on my team, I must choose 2 to not get it. Even if everyone is stellar. No, we’re not allowed to spread the RSUs lighter across all employees. Someone MUST GET ZERO. I’ve pretty much had it with this company, and now I’m worried we’re going to lose some valuable employees as a result of this psychotic philosophy. I just had to give a $0 refresh to a fantastic employee that I had to choose at random because I felt everyone deserved more incentive to keep doing a great job. That’s it. End of rant.
