10:1 or 20:1 would have sufficed, I think.
But I don't think managers understand that while options might make people stay while things are going well, they make them flee (or worse, stay and become resentful) when things are clearly not going well.
If you reward someone for their service you have to do it right or don't bother at all. A reward that loses its value, is delivered late, or requires the recipient to nag you constantly to deliver at all, has negative value for the person. 'Thanks for nothing' is not something you want to hear from an employee. It crushes motivation.
