To management, it seems like free money: they can give out shares like lollipops and it doesn't hurt the metrics they dance to.
I only had one job with stock options. The headhunter recruiting me said “THIS is where you are going to make your real money”. It was an oil company, and I worked there during an extended decline in oil prices, so my options were worthless. Upper management had their option prices adjusted to cash in but the run of the mill professionals got nothing.
