This is a rather naive question on my part. Are the number of options granted to employees a big enough number to matter?

Well, from a down-in-the-trenches-grunt point of view, employee morale was sorely hurting back at the time of the option reset. I think that move was absolutely essential to prevent further loss of talent within the company. Without happy worker bees, there can be no honey! By the way, at today's prices, many of those options would STILL be under water without the reset. Without it.......drowning bees everywhere!
