> It's in that whole collection of tweets, but essentially the contract which you sign on joining says that if you leave and you don't sign the exit paperwork then you lose your equity. You aren't told what is in the exit paperwork at this point.

Yeah, that sounds like the kind of shenanigans that I imagine happened (I didn't see it in the article and I may have missed it among the tweets).

This is the kind of thing you really should never agree to as an employee signing on, though I wouldn't be surprised if many never really knew about it. I also doubt it's enforceable.

> Whether or not this is legally enforceable, no idea, IANAL. It does sound like enough of a threat that most people would just sign though

I agree, although the amounts of money here are probably large enough that they should just have lawyers involved giving them advice.
