"IOW the options that expire worthless are a loss to the employee ... because the employee could have negotiated cash compensation instead."

I wonder how do you propose to negotiate? Majority of options
go to current employees as performance bonuses, not
to new hires. How do you think this can be negotiated?
By walking away? In this economy? You must be kidding.

In any case, you all deviate from the main fact, which is
that last quarter Intel sold its stock to employees for
$0.5B, but had to purchase the same shares back on
open market for $2.5B effectively spending all their
profits on this transaction. Just as they were doing this
for the last decade goofing around naive stockholders.

Take care,
