    Stock awards aren’t exactly normal compensation, though. If everyone got equal stock in the company, everyone would be incentivized to work towards the company’s success.

      So why are most employees given salary or hourly pay without stock rewards? Shouldn’t the company want to incentivize employees for the company’s success? I understand there are a lot of people who defend their companies or corporations without much investment incentives given. I still don’t see why it is not a common benefit to give.

        I will never care about any company I work for. They can give me stock, sure, but I know it’s not my company and I don’t want to work harder for one extra peanut. I rather get time off then. :)

        Give everyone 6 weeks vacations and 4 day work weeks to start with. It’s more than fair. Let people have time off and enjoy their lives. But not going to happen.

        Stock grants are pretty common in tech. Wonder if the UAW has ever proposed a fair grant program with a favorable vesting schedule. Maybe a grant that immediately vests quarterly over 3 years, 20% of base salary? Build wealth for your long time employees while increasing the value of the stock.
