> Shareholders, who ultimately foot the bill for all those incredibly juicy RSU packages…

How do you figure? Are the investors not making a profit? Or are you saying that the employees are basically stealing investor profits?

It's arithmetic, not an opinion. RSUs dilute shareholders.

I'm not suggesting they are stealing profit, I'm saying they have earned a share of the profits. That's literally the point of share awards: to align management with shareholders.
