Charlie Munger, vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and chairman of Wesco Financial and the Daily Journal Corporation, has criticized conventional stock options for company management as:
- "... capricious, as employees awarded options in a particular year would ultimately receive too much or too little compensation for reasons unrelated to employee performance. Such variations could cause undesirable effects, as employees receive different results for options awarded in different years."
- and for failing "to properly weigh the disadvantage to shareholders through dilution" of stock value
Munger believes profit-sharing plans are preferable to stock option plans.
