The company I had worked for ten years went into bankruptcy in 2000. Along with it went a package of very nice phantom stock options. I was given the option as an inducement to quit my previous company and join this one. I immediately pulled up the computer file of the headhunters I had dealt with over the years and put my name out for a position anywhere in the country. For whatever reason, the headhunters were unable to find anything that made financial sense for me.
