But you are also concentrating your risk.
If you receive stock from your employer and it does not do well, that will probably harm your salary/job as well and you'll lose twice.
If instead you receive the cash value of the stock and invest elsewhere and your employer's stock tanks, taking your salary/job with it, your investiment elsewhere won't be affected.
