This is the reason we have issues like the 737 Max. Earnings reports and a bunch of idiot shareholders who don't understand a flying hoot about aircraft owning bits and pieces of an aerospace company and exerting control over it and pressure to "beat earnings". I'm very much on board with being generous in giving ownership to employees. But open market? No. F that. Avoid it as long as possible and pay your employees dividends instead.
