Employee stock options are a retention device. If they are hopelessly out of the money, they serve no function. A re-calibration to real world conditions isn't a bad thing. As far as being in the money shortly thereafter, if it were that easy, there would be a lot of happy investors, too. I haven't seen many in the last few years.
