What To Call People Who Have Stock Options
from the optionistas dept
The San Jose Merc went out looking for ideas on what to call workers who hold stock options. Apparently "stock option holders" or, well, "employees" is simply too last year, and it's time for something new. Among the ideas I liked were "optionistas" and "equitarian", but there are some other good suggestions in the bunch. For most people who happen to be "optionistas" at this point, however, I think they wouldn't care what you called them if you could figure out how to get their options above water.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
