I participate in a stock purchase program that gives me a discounted shareprice, and I typically sell my shares every year, as by partipating it is like adding $6k to my salary. Nobody, dogs me when I sell my shares because thankfully I am not on the BOD.

I receive RSUs that vest, and in my case when they vest they are automatically sold and hit my paycheck, but I lose the unvested RSUs if I leave for another company - it is an incentive that is meant to retain me as an employee.

Stock options are similar, but when they expire you either excercise & hold, or excercise and sell. In almost all cases, the choice of selling is, as it should be, based upon your needs at the time. You may have kids in college, a wedding to pay for, a vacation or vacation home to purchase to enjoy your life. We all work to live life. Even a BOD member.

You can blow this up to be an afront to you, but they receive these annually as part of their compensation and to treat it as an afront to yourself, or to shareholders in general is kinda like you trying to stick your nose into their personal financial matters when it is not your business at all.

That is how I personally view it. Don't sweat the small stuff, dude
