Equity Jobs

The lecture and the reading both talk about equity jobs. Reading states that its use can bring
many advantages, while the speaker provides examples that cast doubt on all points of
reading.

Firstly, the speaker says that employees with equity will work harder for the company to be
successful, which will make them richer. He also claims that research shows that some workers
become lazy when money is no longer the motivation. This casts doubt on the point of the
reading that states that these workers will be more loyal to the company, feeling more owners
than employees and will therefore work more.

Secondly, the speaker says that it is not true that offering equity to employees helps
companies save money because they have less payroll costs. He adds that it is more
complicated to manage, as they need to hire lawyers and accountants in addition to having to
deal with asset management, making cost savings almost non-existent. This casts doubt on the
point of the reading that states that this method of hiring allows companies to save money.

Finally, the speaker states that it reduces employee turnover, because employees remain for
the right reasons. This casts doubt on the point of the reading that states that employees stay
longer in the company because they only receive some value after a certain period of time.
