It was interesting to me that the folks who protested about expensing stock options seemed to take the position that if stock options were going to be expensed, they would have to give up granting them altogether. In fact, many very similar letters came from individuals at certain companies that included some version of please dont take away our stock options. If you were a CEO, how would you think about whether to stop granting employee stock options in the face of a new standard that required your company to show the expense on the income statement?
