DOJ Allows Tech Employees Keep Unvested Stock

The Justice Department last week issued an opinion authorizing the Trump administration’s U.S. Tech Force to onboard managers from 20-plus companies, allowing them to keep unvested restricted stock units while serving on leave from their employers. OPM said the decision clarifies treatment of deferred compensation and will aid recruitment, but ethics experts warn it raises conflicts-of-interest risks, especially for AI and procurement work.
