I joined my company last year when the stock was at an all time high and at the current price my total comp has dropped about 15%.
I asked whether they planned to make up for this, and the response from HR was essentially that it's tough luck.
I totally understand, that's how the stock market works, but it has definitely accelerated my plans to start looking around elsewhere (which would probably have happened anyway, it's not quite the right place for me). That said, I don't know what the actual refresher amount will be so it might be that it balances out somewhat.
