You can always hire a relative/mistress to a no-show/do-nothing job and further dilute the option pool in your favor. It's easier on the conscience as you effectively cancel the stealing out by adding to the employment rolls.

Beware the shuffling of chairs, granting of titles, lateral promotions, unannounced appearance of new employees cutting back on company snacks. These are all clues that lead to a financial event where unless you're in the driver's seat, you're bound to take a hit.

For those of you with the altruistic bent, please watch the Spanish Prisoner. It's a classic example of fuckery.
