They used to call it the "golden handcuffs" but now regular consultancy type jobs expect this poo poo and pay median wages.

The golden handcuffs were the increasingly large bonuses that won't fully vest until next year, so no matter when you quit you leave a ton of cash on the table.

My employer does that. The raises are poo poo (2%-ish) but if you did well, you get a stock package that vests in 33% portions over 3 years annually.
They did the hiring bonus like that, too.

I once started at a small and cool startup that had offered fully-paid sabbaticals and vested options after 5 years. They were acquired by a larger company exactly 4 years and 9 months later. The first thing the owners did was promise they would not get rid of the sabbaticals or vested options, but they got rid of them after the first employee hit 5 years.

I think you meant “unvested options” right? I don’t think it’s legal to just cancel vested stock options that are already paid for.

I meant that as in the options were unvested, then became vested after 5 years, yeah. And I did quit shortly after that :cool:

That's why these sort of options are worthless unless they have an accelerated vesting trigger on company acquisition

Lavendar Bay is north of the bridge though, it's where Luna Park is. Also there are no UK backpackers in the story. 2 factors that show it isn't actually Eastern Suburbs

Peak Eastern Suburbs got us this emote though

Yup, was mixing it up with Rushbutters Bay, though to be fair, anywhere along the harbor with old money is just hosed up as standard.

And really Lav Bay is like 2km from Rushcutters so it's not going to be THAT different

I broke a finger a few years back and it had to be pinned with three nail-like pins about 2.5 - 3 inches long. After 6 weeks, I went to the surgeons office to have the pins removed.
He got out a pair of standard looking tool chest pliers and started yanking away. He'd get a good grip on the exposed end of one pin at the back of my hand and yeet. Very very strange feeling. It didn't hurt.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.
