Would You Stay if Your Vested Options Were Worth Millions?
Posted on Monday, April 16, 2007 by Frank RocheGoogle’s employee stock options have come due. Bigtime. To the tune of $2 billion already vested and ready for cashout. That means there are a lot of Google employees who are moving from paper millionaires to real millionaires. That brought to mind the Clash’s “Should I Stay or Should I Go?” What would you do?

Good grief I think I would be out of there so fast they would see nothing but my back end. Google has become the Microsoft in terms of making their employees rich.
