I see this buyout causing a mass exodus of employees. What would motivate current employees to stay? A private buyout means all employee stock options will immediately vest and pay out when the deal closes.
Why would anyone stay on and work for a known monster for just a salary when the vast majority of the employees could easily gain employment at a firm with equity incentives?
