Miniscule? Is this a joke? Last year their stock based compensation was almost $20B. As a shareholder I wouldn't be amused about this.
- mabbo 4y agoWhy? The alternative is to pay those people with cash, which costs the company money. That would lower the value of the stock because profits would become losses. It works out to be the exact same thing, except that Amazon doesn't record a loss on its finances.
- loeg 4y ago$20B is nothing compared to the value you would destroy by not paying your employees. Stock compensation and cash compensation are equally dilutive for shareholders.
