Danny worked closely with the STO and CEO of her company for 8 months until she was abruptly demoted and let go with little to no explanation. She was released shortly before her equity vest date and received no severance or vacation payout. She suspects discrimination may be a factor.
Can a company quietly let you go without proper cause? What rights do I have to pursue a claim against the company?
Tessa explains the rights that companies have in regard to termination. She encourages Danny to meet with an attorney. Companies respond to risk and creating a claim presents risk.
How do I avoid an “equity scam” in the future?
- Pre-negotiate a severance for middle level to senior positions.
- Before time of release, try to negotiate a deal with the company to allow you to land on your feet.
- Understand how and when equity vests.
- Address signs that the company isn’t happy head on.
