No, dilution is worse. Anytime you give out ownership it's always a last resort.

The people who receive shares earned them by providing services. I worked for 42 years for a public company (German, traded via ADRS) and I loved it in the good years because I received my bonus in stock options (my choice), and when my company sold its clinical chemistry division to Siemens triggering an equity event under the plan, my options went up 4X in value overnight. Paying employees and agents with equity is a good thing, a great thing. You keep the employees.

But every CEO can make his own decision. If the CEO traded stocks for a living prior to becoming a mainstream general manager, he might believe all equity payments are evil. I for one do not.
