"These employers don't hire people with the intent to cheat them out of their stock option."
Happens ALL the time in Silicon Valley. They hire with promises then later do a corporate re-org and people get tossed like empty cans. So much corporate HR is composed of yes-women and DEIs. They will screw you over in a New York minute.
Yea, this is unfortunately true. I've seen packages that vest stock 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% over four years, then they fire you within 1-2 years and it cost them literally nothing. Stock needs to vest evenly over the duration of the grant, but some company execs think they are clever.
