I have a similar story. A good friend of mine started working for Amazon about 15 years ago. She was there for a little less than 10 years before she was laid off. She got a severance package and the stock options that she had accumulated ended up being worth three quarters of a million dollars. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person too.
