Earlier quoted context omitted.

I guess you are the one who received pip.

Sick burn, man you really destroyed my argument with that one sentence. I'd have to work for a bigco to get put on a pip. I can see now you are just trolling in bad faith, come back when you have an actual thought to elucidate.

So, what exactly management did wrong in your opinion?

Also the term "rest and vest" isn't use correctly here. "Rest and vest" refers to people who were acquired during an acquisition. They were too important to fire as they had vital information how the acquired company worked, but also they couldn't leave due to the golden handcuffs they were given in the form of options. So they "rest and vest".

Maybe this is how the term originated, but I have never heard it used in this context personally.
