Grrrrrrr!

I saw this late yesterday - Owning too much company stock puts workers' retirement at risk

I chose not to post it right away because I was struggling with whether to distribute it further.

However, those of us in the ESOP community need to know that there are these opinions out there so we can rally together to fight such perceptions.

We know that there is evidence that employee ownership increases employee productivity, that companies that sponsor ESOPs typically have much richer benefit programs for their employees than non ESOP companies and on and on.

And thanks to The Employee Ownership Foundation, the NCEO and others, there will be more research coming that will likely support what we already know – ESOPs are generally good for companies and employees alike.

I will say that reading this article will be good to maintain the intensity level of my work outs in the near future.
