Colleague with the exact same title and job responsibilities has recieved 'discretionary' stock options and RSUs for multiple years while I have not. This has resulted in a compensation disparity in the range of $150,000+. Other colleagues with the same title or lower as well have received them. It is at the complete discretion of the executive committee, there is no policy or metrics to determine who receives it, just whoever the executives decide. Discretion has not been fairly or consistently applied.
