> Many of my friends (ie. recent computer science graduates) decided to go to MSFT for the 4 or 5 years that it takes for their options to vest, simply based on the belief that their options would be worth half a million or more when they finally vested. MSFT has gotten a lot of smart people to work like dogs for little pay using this strategy. <

If some event, like a drop in the stock price, causes them to revise this belief, how do you expect them to behave?
