Here's my (illogical, emotional) reading of the article -- or shall i say, media piece:
The invisible theme of the article is that Facebook's stock is down today, about 12%; Facebook employees won't be able to cash in for at least 28 more days; It's a timed media piece with an invisible point that FB won't recover; and why should someone accept a slavery contract (Startup Employment) if they aren't going to be paid a king's ransom (>= what the ibankers are making)? Thus $FB kills silicon valley and makes wall street that much more attractive.
disclosure: I'm bullish $FB and bet it's likely to recover, although status in such uncertain climates only comes from short-term coups. So I may make 12% on my investment over a 28 day time frame, but at what cost? I look like a fool and am used like a tool in the media circus clown show. It's not worth it, but I'm not strong enough to bet otherwise.
