I got given some stock options at work today. Quite a lot of options. In fact so many that this single issue is almost as many as I have had over my almost 18 years working here (over 18 if you count the 8 months I was a temp). If our stock price recovers from where it is once the revenue recovers (which it is showing all signs of doing with the success of our new product) then they could be worth quite a bit of money. Enough for us to easily move and if the stock really takes off (extremely unlikely I know) enough to pay off our mortgage.
The only thing I can't decide is if this is a desperate measure on the part of my company or they really are being generous to their few good employees. I know only a select few people got some options and even fewer got as many as I did. The prospect is kind of exciting though, in only 6 months I could have a substantial amount of money in just a year after that have even more.
Still we shall see how the company treats me. We are still negotiating how I can work from somewhere else in the country and scoping out what my responsibilities would be for my role. You never know I may end up somewhere else entirely and making huge amounts of money that way :| .
