I see where anyone with stock could benefit (or not if it tanks...), but that's maybe VP/Pres/C level and above. What does the average Joe have to gain from that happening? I've seen it touted as a 'benefit', 'sign we're a great company', 'we're growing up and joining the big leagues', etc...and I see absolutely no value.
Am I missing something? Is this really meaningful? Educate me please...

I was with a company that was "bought" out multiple times, mgmt. changes, new rules, good for the higher ups, bad news for the little guy. I split. There were dam good employees being fired left and right, the higher ups were laying out new rules, and getting mighty pushy. A good rule of thumb, is if they aren't stable, its time to leave. Be sure you have another "stable" job lined up, or you will be in a world of hurt. Good luck and be careful out there!;)
