Is a single trigger RSU somehow different in trigger than single trigger options? I've always been told that single trigger, at least for the majority of engineering, means your company won't be purchased.

Single trigger makes sense for legal, accounting, etc who are likely gone in an acquisition.

Double trigger makes sense overall.

If the premise is that employees can move the needle on the stock price through their contributions, then double trigger doesn't make sense either.

I recently went through an acquisition where all of our stock was converted into the acquiring company's stock. It was maddening to see our team continue to perform well but see the price of our equity tank along with the rest of the company.
