Of course it's okay to follow a legally binding contract.

If you got a mortgage when interest rates were low and now the bank comes knocking at your door to get you to pay more that wouldn't be reasonable.

There's always a risk. The problem is a half-ass article that tries to portray a company as being bad for following the agreement we as employees accept to work there.



Legality and morality are different things- as is marketing and recruiting. This is why a lot of companies wave vesting periods during layoffs. Eventually the market will move in the other direction and the companies that treat their staff better during this time will have an easier time rehiring.
