But OpenAI has finally seemed to bow to pressure, sending out an email from the company’s equity team stating that current and former employees with eligible shares will be able to participate, according to a memo viewed by The Verge. A lot of money is on the line: It could give employees who got six-figure equity deals in 2019 the chance to donate millions of dollars to charity.
