Ask HN: Company denied RSU vesting to employees due to performance reasons

Are there any cases where a company has denied RSU vesting to employees due to performance reasons?

According to your experience Let say there are 100 employees How many of them are given RSU ?

Can you clarify your question? Are you asking about denying vesting or granting of RSU? Individual performance or corporate performance?

Performance based grants are extremely common.

Denying vesting of RSUs specifically based on performance (individual or corporate) would require specialized terms at the outset, and I'm not sure it can be done legally.

Stock in general can have "claw-back" provisions.

denying vesting due to unsatisfactory performance

I have never heard of it for RSUs. Are you sure you aren't thinking of other forms of stock?
