Chuzz -
One of the key problems with ESOPs is that they provide a benefit which is undifferentiated on performance, and which does not appear on the P&L so is not scrutinized. Imagine the outcry if DELL listed in their annual report a list of a thousand people, many of only routine capability, being paid cash bonuses in the high six figures? That is in fact what is happening - it's just that shareholders pay this as a hidden tax.

I think that an up-front stock-indexed performance bonus would be a lot more powerful as a motivating tool and also a lot more accountable.
