• On Microsoft layoffs: "Historically, it has been if you are at least 55, and have at least 15 years of service, all of your RSU grants would continue to vest that you had received vesting from. i.e. any grant received at your last review would be lost. Regardless of how you left the company. Rule of 70 is, I believe, a misinterpretation." https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kq58f53y
