When we reach a point where all workers value options 0$, then the current startup system is dead.

- danielweber 12y agoEmployers need to do something to address the candidates' concern if they value options at $0. And I don't mean "explain and promise really hard that the employee won't get screwed over." How about letting the employee's options be safe against dilution? How about not refusing third-party offers unless you agree to pay the same asking price?
- potatolicious 12y agoHow so? Investors put money into a company. Company uses money to pay workers. Everyone goes home happy. We're already there, only newbies and people who don't know any better are taking a discount on market salary for options. The bulk of the people I know who work at startups are demanding - and getting - market salaries, and the options are of negligible importance.
