the problem with articles like that is they are so one sided they don't even bother to present the alternative to issuing options. I know for a fact that many technology companies asked employees to take large (30% or more) pay cuts in exchange for options since the decline started, a lot of the increase in options grants can be attributed to that trend I would imagine. So you are looking at an increase in immediate profitability vs. a potential cost down the road. If I were offered the chance to exchange pay for options now, there would be no way I would take the bait because I don't think technology will recover intact from this onslaught. I wonder who took those options grants and if they really think they will ever see anything in the way of returns, especially for "200 of the largest companies" in the US. Sounds like a suckers bet to me.
