If that were the case, it would vest immediately and not in 8 years. It’s nothing but a hand cuff. Not to mention the firm gets to carry the float for the time being.
I have deferred 8.5% of my pay since the start of the year. I don’t get it for 8 years. I don’t get to “invest” it until Q1 2020. So money that I earned, I can’t control for an entire year nor receive for another 8. Total insanity.
