Da fuq are you talking about? Equity packages that vest over time are incredibly common. These employers don't hire people with the intent to cheat them out of their stock option. It's not even really a possibility because as you said they vest over time. Even if they fired you after a year you're still going to get one year's worth of the stock offering.
By your own admission you've never worked for one of these companies, but you know that everyone who does is an npc? You're the fucking npc, clown. Keep driving that forklift in the warehouse and feeling superior.
"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.
