Should i ask my boss why i was given lesser stock option and at a higher price compared to a new hire.?
Answer:
If my understanding is correct, the option price is the price at the date of the grant and is not set by the company. Remember all the news about back dated options. That was so the company could issue them at a lower price. The practice is illegal but I doubt anyone will go to jail over it.
The company of course has the perrogative of deciding how many options to grant. Perhaps the other new hires were better negotiators than you when it came to negotiating compensation packages.
Just chalk it up the breaks of the game and try to do a credible job so that next year you are granted a large number of options.
No. trust me, you have nothing to gain by doing that.
Rather than making a straight comparison, why don't you ask him about alternative stock options, maybe not this specifically but try to approach from another angle so you are not seen as complaining
