Your comment makes it seem like the article is pretty accurate then? Like they are clawing back the contributions, but you're saying it's okay because their contract allows them to do it. I'm not sure how this makes the article misleading.

Of course it's okay to follow a legally binding contract.

If you got a mortgage when interest rates were low and now the bank comes knocking at your door to get you to pay more that wouldn't be reasonable.

There's always a risk. The problem is a half-ass article that tries to portray a company as being bad for following the agreement we as employees accept to work there.

Legality and morality are different things- as is marketing and recruiting. This is why a lot of companies wave vesting periods during layoffs. Eventually the market will move in the other direction and the companies that treat their staff better during this time will have an easier time rehiring.
