Feeble
The argument against expensing options that is being pressed by some tech companies that says the expensing will cost jobs is so unbeliveably feeble that I'm almost offended.
So, we have to lie about compensation expenses to keep jobs in the US? Please. If that is going to make that much of a difference, then all of the tech jobs are gone anyway. Preserving the fiction that option grants are not expenses doesn't help anyone.
The one thing I have to give the purveyors of this story credit for is that they are in tune with the zeitgeist of the fear and loathing of offshoring.
