Just pay a decent salary, and the rest is moot. I dont really want stock from the company I wor for. Because if it is doing well... Yes, but that pendulum can also swing in the other direction, and experience has it that just because my company is doing badly, it mustn't be my fault. Everything between bad luck and co-workers slacking off for some reason can define my outcome. Thats pretty communist in my book. But well. Anyway, stock is a risk-taking behaviour, now force onto you because you're trying to fix your bad salary. Nope, thanks. Also, this smells of "we are a family" because "if the company is well, everyone is well". No, thanks.
