Not so Golden Handcuffs: The Problem with Stock Options
Update: 2022-08-17
Description
Stock options are considered a perk of working for corporations, especially startups that achieve unicorn status. Employees often take lower compensation in the short term for the potential of one day receiving shares in the next Google or Amazon. But, often, it is difficult for employees to assess the true value of these stock options, and the shareholders' rights plans signed by employees typically require them to waive inspection rights as a condition of receiving the compensation. In this episode, Anat Alon-Beck and John Livingstone will join us to discuss Professor Alon-Beck's groundbreaking article, Bargaining Inequality: Employee Golden Handcuffs and Asymmetric Information, which is forthcoming in the Maryland Law Review (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4037705&download=yes).
