Well, I hope Mark Pincus resigns and returns his stock options to concede his lack of merit.
I understand your logic, but you are missing the point.

No one is claiming that this isn't good for the company - they are claiming it is unethical (at least) and bad for the employees.

Stock options are an important part of the compensation package at start-up companies.

If Pincus said to a group of employees: "Ok, we've paid a salary but now we have decided we want that money back. Give it to us or we will fire you" would your argument be the same? If not, what is the difference? The extra money would be good for the company, too, right?

What really stinks about "not creating a Google chef" scenario is the implicit belief that the chef should not become rich and should not be able to participate in the success of your company. Why the arrogance? If an employee (Chef, Janitor, Developer or CEO) played a part in the success, exactly why is it that they should not participate in the payoff

Give back our stock? Interesting phrasing. It's their stock. Give back our stock. Phrased like the employees took something that wasn't rightfully theirs.
> However after two years, and a few splits, I have 128 shares.

You're not a "4 shares employee" you're a "% of the company employee". The 4 shares are worth some percentage of the company and after all those splits they're still worth that same percentage. Splits usually happen to get the cost of the overalls hares down but a $1m holding in some stock is still worth $1m after the split.

>But the fact is that you are a 4 share employee being paid 3000% of what you were hired at.

So what! This is the point of accepting stock as compensation. They worked below what they were worth for the hope that they would win the lottery. They did win the lottery and now the company wants a redo.

If a person has trouble getting a US work visa, wouldn't that person also have trouble freely travelling in and out of the USA?

In which case, how do they get to the seastead? It seems that they would need a ferry, but does that ferry port have passport facilities and act as an international port? And if you're on the seastead for a long period of time and US access required a visa, how do you now renew that visa seeing that you couldn't land in the US without it and there is no US Embassy on the seastead?

Or more plainly... what problem is this solving for whom? It doesn't seem to solve the problem for anyone who is unable to get into the USA without a visa.
>You are acting as if they are being asked to give away something that they own

They are. They own those stock options, with the provision that they stay out the life of the vesting period. They are now being prevented from holding up their side of the contract. They would gladly stay through the vesting period if allowed to.
Hopefully this can also act as a signal to the federal government about how costly the lack of immigration reform is. I certainly hope we see a real solution sooner rather than later.
I've always thought Zynga was a huge waste of space/energy/life/etc, and I hope no engineer with any other job opp ever joins again, but it goes against the whole definition and point of vesting to say that unvested shares are already yours. If you quit or are fired, you rightfully only get the ones that have vested, that's the whole reason they gradually vest - so that neither party is completely bilked if you leave after a year and a half. They're not handing over that percentage of the company on the day you join. That would be silly.

It's disturbing that Zynga is doing this, and it's a shitty thing to reneg on salary promises, but that's basically what vesting options are - uncertain salary promises. What they're doing is saying "We promised you a salary based on company worth, but we're now growing so fast in value that there's no way you're worth this much to us, so take a pay cut from now on, or we're firing you". If those people have been there for three years, they should already have 3/4 of their stock vested, assuming they're following the typical valley vesting schedule.

I think the main reason people are so vocal about this is because there's generally an implicit understanding that options are different from salary, more set in stone. Comparatively few people join companies based on promises to be paid 2*x salary the following year. This is upsetting a big part of the natural order of things.

Hopefully this won't impact more upstanding companies.
As a foreigner wanting to come to Silicon Valley some day I feel this ship doesn't solve any of my problems.

There is no need for physical proximity, at least not in the slave kind as is offered here, the only reason I want to physically move to the US is the ability to get off my computer at any time and meet cool people for coffee or whatever.

Being stuck on a ship solves that problem no better than being on a different continent.
No it isn't. A big corp I worked at in the US had a 1/7th per year vesting period. Then the dot com bubble came and they gave everyone 4-year cliff options. That is, no vesting until after 4 years. They absolutely could have fired people 3 years and 11 months in (and almost certainly did).
You can say hypothetical middle manager got lucky, but it isn't. We will never know whether Zynga would have succeeded without hypothetical middle manager or the other 'undeserving employees'.

This is just dickish behavior from Pincus. Given his past record, no one should be surprised. What you are saying here is just part of the process known as 'rationalization' and then 'accepting' this behaviour. You can stop - wildly successful entrepreneurs are not saints. I think Steve Jobs is an even clearer example of this.

And I am glad to see the employees affected taking legal action. There's no point in reinforcing dickish behavior by quietly accepting it.

I find your sense of entitlement appalling. You feel you have the right to decide who deserves what kind of treatment -- based on your own comfort, no less -- and use that to justify the meanness of other people.

I disagree with author on one point:

In that Burger King, Andy Boyle thought he was listening to the disintegration of a couple’s marriage. He was really hearing the crumbling of his own ethics and self-restraint.

No, he wasn't. As you have so kindly helped demonstrate, we live in an increasingly hedonistic society, where our ethics is defined by our surplus of entitlement and our lack of self-restraint.

Oops, sorry, yeah, you're right - it is normally monthly.

That latter vesting is pretty crazy - with each year, each point is usually getting nonlinearly more valuable as well.
so basically unvested stock are in no way a compensation for joining an early stage startup and the many draw backs of doing so.

why are companies allowed to fool people into valuing this offer at all?
Sorry, I was talking about the typical valley vesting schedule, I'm sure they run the gamut in the wider corporate world.

The frame and box shadow may also slow the site down. Amazon found that a 100 ms increase in page load time reduces sales by 1%.
The deal was x amount of shares for the risk of working for a startup.

Renegging that to x/2 amount of shares in hindsight is evil.

It's a construct in which an early employee can only lose, if the startup fizzles, he gets nothing, if the startup booms he is screwed out of half of what he and his employer agreed on.
Given that each time you come in to the country I assume you'll have to go through immigration, you're probably right.

Also the food comes up pretty high on the list of incentives for working at Google. Who knows how many talented people now work at Google because of their chefs.

Also consider opportunity cost. The chef could have opened a restaurant instead and perhaps also earn a lot of money that way.
i did the same for 10months. i basically move from city to city (different areas if it's a big city) every few weeks. If you stay at one place for 2-3 weeks you quickly learn where there's wifi.

Staying at serviced appartment type of places makes you feel like home (a kitchen in your hotel room has a lot of value even though you never use it. but you could).

It helps if you're not the most talkative person.
I'm aware of bad faith.

I think the fact that it continuously vests after a cliff, that it's clear in basically every options grant that you don't receive unvested options upon termination, and because employment contracts repeatedly emphasize that employment is completely at-will makes it pretty clear that you shouldn't count your unvested option chickens before they hatch, and hard to prove that you could reasonably expect to vest all options. The employees that have been there for multiple years will have already vested a big percentage of their stock regardless of what happens.

I think Zynga is repulsive, and will hopefully get punished hard on many fronts for this, but I'm not convinced that what they're doing is strictly illegal. I'm convinced they'll get sued, though.

How not to build a mapview
Actually, given the instability of a startup, they should be paying more than market rate right out of the gate. They tried to do this by using stock options but enough crooks have found ways around it that I expect the labor market to adjust to this.
BerliOS, and picking up "dead" projects
Yup. I'd expect exactly what's happening at the moment - richer countries to stagnate, poorer countries to see rocketing wage inflation, and eventual stability.

It'll take a couple of generations though, what with differences in education, training, etc. to work through.

Color me unsurprised. The grid calls for bi-dimensional navigation while the list is mono-dimensional, less brain cycles burnt to go through it.
no, you're missing the point. here's how it works:

zynga: want to be an early employee in our risky little venture?

emp: um - the salary is kind of low and there's no job security

zynga: but we're tossing in 100,000 options. potentially worth $10M if our stock hits $100 in the ipo

emp: okay, that sounds better. i'm in

zynga: of course, to prevent you from just exercising the options and leaving, they'll vest over four years

emp: works for me.

so basically the entire chunk of options was the employee's payment for joining the company when there was low salary and job security. the vested part is payment for sticking around to help zynga succeed. and the implicit contract is that the unvested part is an already made promise that his compensation for each year of work will be $x in salary + $y in incrementally vested options. since employers tend to have disproportionate leverage in these matters, there are of course a whole range of clauses stating that he could be fired for any or no reason and lose his unvested stock just as if he'd resigned, but that's harking back to the letter rather than the spirit of the agreement. abusing that leverage is a scummy thing to do, regardless of the technical legality of it all.
Getting it exported from his country and imported to yours might involve some expensive fun-and-games though, and I'd be inclined to offer more for his time then the $300 above the parts cost, and you need to account for the fact that a lot of his parts were scavenged (if he'd had to more of the parts new it could significantly raise the cost).
Certainly not. You are correct in that there is a logical and chronological continuation, but the EEC was an economic entity, as it's name suggests, and was meant to promote economic cooperation and integration.

EU nowadays, on the other hand, is a political entity and picks and promotes its goals accordingly.

Like I said earlier, how about keeping your own side of the bargain?

Remember the 'useless' chef already got you to where you are presently. The place where you need to raise more money.

Why then did you hire the chef in the first place? If the chef has started cooking poorly, you sack him/her. Just like your board would fire you for poor performance.

That this is even up for debate is baffling.

The answer here is dilution. Issue enough added stock to solve the problem and everyone ends up with a smaller stake in a more valuable company (if only because it's no longer doomed). You don't single out an employee and mug them, at the very least because then the sysadmin would have to be an idiot to believe it couldn't happen to him during the next crisis. For this to be a trolley problem, the chef would have to be holding a supermajority of the equity—more than the founder and the investors put together.

Is it fair to the people running the business that they should have to keep paying money to people that aren't helping out much?
A minor improvement suggestion: countries can now start with their proper article like "The Philippines" and "The Netherlands".

The article often gets omitted in drop down menus so people can find it if they search by alphabet (and advanced users can press the first character to jump to it quickly). With this plugin that would no longer be needed.
This is true, actually. Pages seem to act exactly like regular user profiles other than the intention to have an associated brand instead of an associated person, and Google+ engineers have been posting that anyone can create a page (it just might not get the "confirmed name" checkbox by its name). So you could effectively set up a page with whatever name you want and use that as your pseudonymous profile on G+.
