    Why do we let execs sell stock received as compensation at all?

        It’s worth whatever it sells for when you resign. Which, if you did a good job, is way more than what it would’ve sold for the day you got it.

          If you’re doing a good job, though, why would you want to resign?

          And if, for reasons beyond their control, the stock price is going to fall (e.g. new international tariffs or something), why should they be handcuffed to that decrease in value?
