"Stock options? I'd rather not take them!"
As a graduate with a degree in economics, Chen Fei certainly understood the meaning of this term. Although it sounded tempting, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
If you can't bring benefits to the boss, why would you share in the boss's fortune? Wishful thinking!
"Don't worry, I won't cheat you. There are only advantages, no disadvantages."
Granting stock options to employees is essentially a way to win them over. Hanna Gagel was certainly not about to play a shell game deceiving monkeys with peaches. She sincerely intended to share the benefits, to bind everyone together.
But it wasn't a foolish giveaway either. The rights of stock options were limited to profit-sharing while employed. All other shareholder powers were non-existent, and the entire company was still under Boss Hanna's sole control.
Once someone quit, naturally, they would get nothing.
However, there truly were no drawbacks!
