So the bank gives out shared stocks as incentive for retention.. but I’m pretty sure they’re realizing employees would have preferred cash money NOW vs 4+ years from now considering the inflation struggles for most families.
The original emails stated that if we didn’t make the time to call and set this up, they (HR?) would do it for us by “X” date. Well… they may be regretting this because there are MANY folks who haven’t had time to take care of this and I’m guessing they/HR can’t handle the workload. Guess what.. we all have the workload of 3 associates and we’re too busy to deal with it (and most folks don’t want to deal with it on personal time), so they can pipe down with all the pushy emails trying to force us to figure out what do do with this d-mb a-s stock that will probably interested give the bank a tax break and be worthless to us 4 years from now (if we even stay with the bank because honestly a WFH position that pays better is still everyone’s goal).
