Last week the FSA announced that they wanted to try to impose restrictions on bonuses of city workers (financial services), which I think is something that treads on very thin ground (thats for another day!).
I certainly do think that companies will try and pacify shareholders by not paying large bonuses to their employees, but how will they do that? One of the common ways is to provide share options or just straight shares. But with what has happened in the last 3 months is it now a valid negotiating point?
Would you be happy to receive shares/options as part of a bonus package?
For those of you that remember recruiting in the last dot com boom, share options WERE the incentive to join, but probably less than 5% realised any profits from them.
So if you were looking at taking a new job, what would you go for - shares/options (with a big potential upside) or a lower cash equivilent?
