I have to say, the deeper the DGAF sets in, the more the company tries to motivate me to stay.
Latest action is a no-strings-attached title change and comp package, which, unfortunately, will not vest for a year (well, a year after the next board meeting where the grant will be issued). I am still on track for November, so I won't be around to see it. I am moody and visibly unhappy and routinely make jokes on calls about various ridiculous and incompetent aspects of the company.
It bothers me more than a little bit that the more I telegraph my done-with-this-place-ness, the more they go out of their way to try and get me to change my mind, while the company itself is planning layoffs. Even if it is true that the budget for retention comes from a central budget that is not involved in layoff calculations, that isn't true for my base compensation, and the fact that a bunch of people are getting cut is giving me a complex.
That plus the senioritis is insane.
