Then we'll pay as usual.$Oracle(ORCL.US) What, annual leave? Our company has unlimited PTO (see how many days you dare to take).Different lands, different tactics, different beasts of burden."

- **嘿嘿^ · 2026-04-04T10:26:50.000Z · 👍 1**: Every share in the bonus still needs to be discounted, I can't stop laughing 😆
- **嘿嘿^ · 2026-04-04T04:21:07.000Z · 👍 2**: The stock price rose, but the financing cash flow actually decreased, and the bonus turned into stock 😂
