This is pretty interesting to me. So you're saying when they lifted the cap, existing employees' comp was not changed, but I'm guessing new hires are being brought in within the new range (meaning way larger base salaries than their incumbent peers)? Are they given smaller new hire stock packages to balance out total comp? I can't imagine trying to measure internal pay equity between two people in the same role/grade/location and are on two entirely different comp strategies. And then keeping those two distinct strategies up-to-date against current market data. Sounds like a nightmare.

They should have moved everyone over at the same time and incurred a one-time expense, while simultaneously dropping their stock refresh budgets.

The CO2 in the atmosphere is minuscule compared to the total CO2 in the oceans. So if you are taking CO2 from the oceans and believe that removing a tiny time percentage will some how magically lower atmospheric levels of CO2, I think you are wrong. Please keep in mind man’s scientific understanding of the total CO2 cycle is surprisingly poor. 95% of total CO2 released into the atmosphere is done naturally with the CO2 cycle. Please tell me who can accurately measure the natural sources of CO2 with a greater degree of certainty of +- 5%?

May not be for me but it’s cute and has the snark appeal for the increasingly niche, self-cultivating culture the site has built for itself. You can stack the verification badges, make them into a rainbow gradient, etc. Some users have spent hundreds of dollars just buying an inordinate amount of badges just to make their posts a little more irritating to look at. It’s all kind of funny and charming.
