Merger Erases Employee Stock -- Pitiful Lawsuit Pending

And these executive wankers have the gall to complain they can't find workers to fill their positions and nobody has loyalty to the company anymore.

Stock as you likely well know, is regarded as a gamble and nothing is guaranteed.
There are still limits of what a company can do. It sounds as if they are doing some illegal stock manipulation. The stockholders are actual owners of the company. I sincerely doubt if two companies can merge and then declare the stocks of one company worthless.

These two poorly performing companies merge. Somebody directing the merger decides exabeam's employee stock just doesn't matter anymore -- according to this article.
They had "common stock".
It sucks hind teat compared to "preferred stock".
I don't say this justifies what happened.
But be careful about the kind of stock you acquire.

Oh, well, then, it's ok to screw the employees out of part of their compensation. Because you were just "gambling" with it, anyway.
Best except the fact that stocks for a long time have been well known to be a pure gamble and never guaranteed to investors then trying to reason it away with unrelated examples.
