<That's not a sweeping generalization?> in all matters it is case by case scenario,so,yes,this surely is a sweeping statement, but one meant to address my belief the trend from it being a good idea to becoming a bad idea has dramatically in the past years turned to the bad.
I remember many years ago being so impressed in how J.C.Penney had built such a strong company on giving their employees a stake in the company.
But, imo, the Bubble itself both damaged and corrupted much in the marketplace, including business enterprises themselves.Let's say i see employee options as just one more casualty of the stock market mania that grabbed hold of our country.

<<It has put many previously in-the-money stock options out of the money. For the impacted executive, it must be depressing to work hard only to see the value of company stock options disappear.>>

Or, they simply reprice the options downward, diluting the stock even more, ala BRCD.
