Rivian insiders should buy stock asap to boost employee morale

[DuoRivians]

And there's the disconnect I was talking about right there.

A minor blip in their massively underwater options or double digit share losses isn't going to have the impact on moral you think. Going from underwater to still underwater, or massive double digit losses to still massive double digit losses doesn't do what you think it will do.

A 30% drop in one day isn’t a minor blip

A 30% drop in one day isn’t a minor blip

It depends on your starting point. A 30% one day price drop isn't as much a change in overall return for someone who bought in at $100 compared to someone who bought in at $20.

Let's say an employee was granted 1000 stock options at IPO price of $78/share. A drop from $20 to $16 or vice-versa is just a 5% change. Both prices still meaning the stock options have no value.

Let's say another employee was granted $10,000 dollars worth of RSU's based on IPO price of $78/share. The difference is being down roughly $7,450 vs $7,950 down in value. At least they got something vs someone with stock options. But their RSU balance is still going to look pitiful compared to what it was when it was granted.
