It's not much better with RSUs, I've had both the experiences where a company's RSUs declined (so total comp fell) and they said "That's the risk we all take to have skin in the game". And I've had the experience where my RSUs have done well, and so they said "no raises or refreshers for you because your total comp is very high" ... So basically my risk if they decline and their gain if they rise...

It's frustrating because it was my capital risk of additional salary to take those RSUs (which only pay infrequently, not like salary)... Taxed at same high rates as salary...
