Isn't life about these momentary pleasures (exploitation)
Btw it's eerie how similar our avatars are. -
In my previous job they offered me a company share options instead of a pay rise. What this means is that you get e certain shares from the company but you don’t actually own them until the company gets acquired or sold. Only in such even you get the chance the exercise your right of selling your shares and this is only if the acquirer wants to buy them off of you. Those “perks” have no real value and they don’t pay my mortgage, neither they bring food to mu table. Needless to say I switched jobs

@PappyHans Lmao equity shares are a joke tbh unless you get incredibly lucky with timing but that's just external factors at play. You might as well win the lottery.

Yeah. Forgot to mention you only have the share options while you work for the company, so if you quit you loose. Not sure who they’re fooling with this
