One could also see this as a large-scale demonstration that employees, in general, disagree with your assertion that stock is an important value of Silicon Valley life. It's important to founders/CXX types and venture capitalists, sure, but so far as I can see it is rarely useful for everyday workers to pay attention to their stock packages, because they are usually worthless, and opportunities to make a decision that has a meaningful impact on their value are very rare.
