"When there is poor performance over many years and options are still handed out, that is not far removed from theft IMO." You are not alone. I have a somewhat of a friend who has been on a crusade against Cisco calling them crooks ever since he figured this out when he worked there in the 1990's. I have a hard time making an argument he is wrong since they had billions of earnings in the past 5 years and saw stockholder equity decline!
