My previous place did yearly refresher RSUs to try to keep people topped off and avoid a big vesting cliff. I just found out that my current place doesn't do refreshers outside of promotions and rare cases. One of my teammates is coming up on his cliff and promotion this year is likely not going to happen so he either has to take a pay cut for a year or leave. I guess the strategy is to only keep around the gunners who are always busting for the next level? What is the norm, regular refreshers or none? Current industry - fintech, previous industry - healthcare.
