Our Reading
The announcement sounds ambitious. Wayve’s employee tender offer is just another way to say “we’ll buy back your shares, but only if you stay.” It’s a retention strategy, not a revolution. Employee tenders are just the latest iteration of the same old “we’ll give you equity” promise. And, of course, it’s only available to a select few. Because that’s how you attract and retain the best talent – by making them an offer they can’t refuse.
