I can agree with this in principle, but in practice, who gets to write the contract governing this stuff? Do employees get a say?

I had options at my last job. They were worthless to me the entire 4.5 years I spent there. It wasn’t until 2 weeks after I was let go the company announced it was being acquired and my lottery tickets became worth something.

4.5 years of opportunity to be engaged at a deeper level as a shared owner of the business, wasted because the business never wanted me to be a part owner in the first place.

Definitely looking for more companies that operate the way you would expect here!
