If my other choice is to get no raise, then sure -- nm - con_carne Jan 22, 09:19
Prolly want a raise in lieu, stock option would depend on amount and enough to cover tax liabilities -- nm - budice Jan 22, 09:18

- you haven't hit bottom until you've gone out of business. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 09:18 2
  - Unless you're a company that the powers-that-be deem "too big to fail" -- nm - con_carne Jan 22, 09:20 1
    - even then, who knows how much the stock would end up being worth... -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 09:20
stock, or stock options? I would not accept stock options. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 22, 09:17 2
