<prompt> Human: At the beginning of this year I took a new job where I was promised some fairly generous profit-sharing after every year of employment. The contributions would be through our company retirement plan basically they drop a big deposit into your 401k once a year. A few months after I started I got all of the details of how the plan works and discovered that the companys contributions vest over a six year period. Youre 0 vested after one year, 20 vested after two, etc etc, until you make it to year six. Is this a normal way to handle profit-sharing contributions to a retirement plan? Im thinking of asking them to change their policy its a very small company and my boss is one of the founders but I want to make sure Im making a reasonable request. If this is a pretty standard way that companies handle profit-sharing plans then I know I might be out of luck, but if their vesting schedule is particularly crappy then Im hoping I can get them to alter it.  <response>: Ive found 5 year vesting schedules to be the standard.
