Company Stock

In a flurry of coincidence, my company's stock came up twice today.

1. After strolling into the office at 10am, my boss came over and asked if he could "grab me for a minute". He took me into a conference room with a stack of papers, which I could see looked HR-y and was addressed to me.
   
   FUCK! I really am a shit employee sometimes. There are a ton of different things I could be punished for! Or maybe it is about what I'd need to do to work remotely on a permanent basis.
   
   Luckily, he just wanted to notify me I was getting a stock grant for my excellent performance. Laziness continues!
   


2. At lunch with my coworkers Matt, Matt and Joel, the topic of initial stock grants came up. My employer gives all new employees stock grants that vest over time. I always assumed everyone got about the same amount.
   
   Apparently not.
   
   For some reason, my grant was triple the Matts' stock grants. And poor Joel, who works in a nearby department, got a quarter of what I received. I did not mention how much mine was. Or that they gave me another stock grant today that was one and a half times their initial grants as well.

I hope it's just a fluke of managers having a certain amount of stock grants to hand out to new employees at different times.
