Employees Still Want Stock Options
Employees Still Want Stock Options
01/26/2004 03:29 AMDuring the boom years, people were giving up high salaries to take
jobs where they received piles and piles of stock options, believing
that their dot com lottery tickets were guaranteed to bring them
insane wealth. While it worked out for many people, many more ended
up with nothing more than a lesson in the downsides of risk. You
might think, in these "back to reality" times, stock options wouldn't
be as big a draw any more, but that turns out to not be true.
Employees
still want stock options - and it's for the same reason that
stock options were originally created: to give the employees a sense
of ownership in the company they work for. While most admit that it
doesn't change their day-to-day behavior (and it shouldn't), it does
make them more loyal and more likely to keep track of how the company
is doing overall. It's just that most people don't expect to cash in
their options a year after joining a company and retire to travel the
world.

12/17/2004 06:32 PMIn doing some filing tonight I ran across some old paperwork. Sitting
next to me now is a NOTICE OF STOCK OPTION GRANT from Yahoo Inc. to
Jeremy Zawodny (at my old address). It grants me thousands of options
to buy YHOO at a strike price of $390.25. These options expire on
12/28/2009. Heh. That's my initial grant from 5 years ago when I
started at Yahoo. Can you say "joined just before the bubble burst?" I
thought you could....
