Especially after they lay you off to make your measly share price go up a buck. You played yourself.

My employer isn't doing too great, so how about no.

Nah. Never again. Twice a year purchase ESPP and the data easily shows an internal pump and dump with folks like me holding the bag. My buy immediately halves within the day it hits my account. I'll put it on my Roth instead.
