They get the large amount of options because this is a group who has influenced the electronics industry's path over the last decade. If a team can genuinely change the foundation of electronics we have the best in the industry.

Now why don't they spend their own hard earned money on shares? Sure blackouts and whatever else, but for them I'd say this is more of a passion, not about money or retiring early. It's about being the "Gordon Moore" of the next 50 years. I say give them the options, most are useless at this time but the team is still hard at work not moving their eyes off the prize!

Cheers to Management!
