What happens if companies don't issue options? Seems to me that once employment rises again, employees will negotiate based on salary which can't be good for earnings either. When doctor's reimbursements were cut, many left the profession or went to work for managed care companies taking out a fixed salary and the quality of health care declined. Many areas saw the landscape change from too many doctors per patient to too few. If companies cut the issuance of stock options, my guess is that we'll see a decline in people going to school in IT, back to medicine again. It's not like most of these software developers put in only 40 hours a week. Cut the incentive to work mega hours is probably being penny wise and pound foolish. TA
