It's pretty common companies ask shareholders to vote on incentive and share plans every year in the annual meeting.

Despite the misinformation that gets posted, it's not the board that is giving up those share, it's the shareholders, the co-owners that decide

So let's look at why...

No company sets aside 50 years of shares for employees. It doesn't work that way.

So you vote on them every year.

What you may not know is these incentives can make up to 10-50% of ones total compensation.

But red, I don't like that they are giving away so many shares

Who said they were giving them away besides posters on a message board?

I've said hundreds of times, don't get your investment information off a message board. Go google employee incentive plans.

Companies could pay 10-50% more in salaries and not use RSU's grants and stock options as compensation, but how would that be an incentive to employees to work harder and be retained longer?

Companies could pay employees overtime that work 41-80 hours of week, but how would that be better for the company or shareholders?

The shares for employees that would take shares instead of compensation during COVID-19 don't fall from the sky

The shares outside vendors and consultants agreed to take during the period April 5, 2019 through July 3, 2020 don't grow out of the ground

The shares for new senior level employees don't blow in from the Pacific

Companies need shares to continue to incentivize employees in 2021. I'd doubt they would take fig newtons instead

Companies have a choice, either spend more cash on compensation or shares in the form of restricted stock units and options

Now everyone knows the logic behind company incentive plans

Everyone has a vote too, on this and the other 4 points.

Vote as you please...

But please don't fill up a message board on how you are voting as no one cares as it is your choice

But you do have to be a shareholder to vote
