Its funny how some are always trying to make it better sounding than it really is. Stock Options, have you even been here long enough to have received the last one that was given out? The last one we received was in 07 and had a 3 year vesting period. Stock options are not adding yearly income to our pay checks.
The financial rewards use to net me an extra 4000$ a year, now I'm lucking to see 1200 before taxes. Our overall compensation has taken a HUGE hit the last three years, and if you are not mad about that you NEED your head checked.
The point is, it's not awful health insurance or 401k match. It's not as good as my fireman brother in law's health insurance but it's not the crap a lot of companies offer. And the 401k is near the top as far as matching in concerned.
It's true the overall compensation is down (I believe PBS is mostly to blame for this) and the stock option/grant/purchase plan are not worth mentioning as compensation.
