I'm also somewhat curious about the "stock $ per year" measurement. If I get 650 RSUs that vest 100% over 5 years (front-loaded), and on year 3 I get another 250 RSUs with the same schedule, how exactly should I calculate that in dollars? One way would be to just take the figure on my tax returns that accounts for proceeds from selling them, which is what I would do. I also wonder if other people are including proceeds they may have received from ESPP arrangements...

Exactly, are people reporting the original value at grant date or current value of the grant, I wonder.
IMO people should be reporting "At grant" and it would be fair to gross public companies up by an estimated average market growth (~7%) .. ie 1/4th at 100% , 1/4th at 107%...
