Just worked 3 years at a gig, from the "sharing a tiny office with another company" phase to significantly larger. Moved on, and had to let a lot of vested options go because it just didn't make financial sense at the time to buy them, given the risk factor. Were it not for the 90 days limit (which sure isn't in my favor), I'd have been able to hold on to what I earned, rather than see it evaporate. If anything, the system works spectacularly well for the founders, and investors. Not so much for the people they need to bring on to help their vision move forward.
