This is really interesting, and I always like rethinking of equity distribution--since it's so lopsided currently.

Some questions off the top of my head

- Since employees leaving don't receive from the kicker pool. Doesn't this incentivize people who are unhappy and want to leave to stay? There are some benefits to this, but seem like a ton of costs too (and part of what Pinterest's change was addressing)

- How is the kicker pool redistributed? Equally or along the lines of people's current distributions of equity?

- Curious if you have opinion on where the threshold should be set? And if it eventually makes sense to do tiers of thresholds? Or if you think the simplicity makes it make sense not to.

But think this sounds like a great thing, and would love to hear updates on it as it develops.
