If they're just an employee then you can argue "who cares" but also "why not?". If they're offered any options I'd say yes they should ask.
- supernova87a 4y agoThen as CEO, how about equally I just say, "why?" and "no". Not a great justification either side.
- Balgair 4y agoBecause the CEO needs the engineer more than the engineer needs the CEO. By definition, the CEO is issuing stock in lieu of money. They are issuing a chance at very large future compensation (say 10% chance at 12x) in lieu of current cold cash (100% chance of 1x). The CEO is not in the driver's seat, otherwise they wouldn't issue stock. NOTE: This is a totally different thing than stock incentive programs.
- phkahler 4y agoThat was my point. One can still ask but there isn't much reason to, and so there isn't much reason to expect a response.
