been there, done that. happened to me in 2002.

the financial markets were down and the company was in serious belt-tightening mode. to make a long story short, i asked myself whether this was a company i believed in, and whether i trusted them to also take care of/make it up to me in the good times as well.

the answer to both answers was yes, so i sucked it up and moved on. they did take care of me with some nice option packages the next year, so i'm happy
