In the fiercely competitive landscape of the AI sector, attracting top-tier talent has become an uphill battle. In a bid to lure in the best and brightest, OpenAI has recently scrapped the 'option grant waiting period' policy for new recruits. The company has declared that it will do away with the rule mandating employees to clock in six months of service before becoming eligible for equity vesting. This change, which was announced by Head of Applications Figi Simo, is designed to inspire new employees to take bold steps without the fear of departing or being let go before they receive their initial equity allocation.
