> Typically, you email hr and say, "I want to exercise";
What happens when they ignore all emails related to exercising? I had this problem and I even followed up by CCing the controller and CFO. It turns out they didn't want anything on "paper" so they just ignored me. My offer had the options in it, but they never gave me the option paperwork. I hear they finally granted the options a year ago to people still there. I think they were playing games trying to lower the FMV or something. I'm not sure it was all legit.
