Good article, but I think he misses the point. I'm all for stock options as long as they are fully accounted for in the income statement in such a way that it doesn't deceive shareholders. At the end of the day, if it is easy to loot shareholders to enrich insiders, then eventually the company will fail as shareholders flee the company. Then even the insiders will suffer. So the point is that corporate managers have to play a smart balancing game between the needs of customers, employees, and shareholders. Right now, for Cisco at least, the balance has shifted away from shareholders and towards employees. It's time to shif the balance back. If they do that, then employees with current stock options will also benefit as the stock starts to rise again.
