In the silicon valley NOBODY with a clue works just for salary. stock options is a major part of people's compensation package. stock options that can appreciate into many millions of $$ is the big carrot used by successful mature companies like CSCO, MSFT and SUNW, the recent start-ups like BRCD, AKAM and JNPR, and by the pre- ipo start-ups. when the company's financial outlooks turns really sour and the hope for big gains from stock options grants fade, people leave for greener pastures. it's not just top management who benefits from the stock gains, it's everyone from receptionists and up. So now, you're saying the avg. peon worker is not going to sell and continue to work earning 25 - 45K/year?
