That's why I also take a critical view of company shares: if you're dependent on the company you work for for your salary, and if you also have company shares, you're also dependent on the company for your savings.

@six How should that be critical? You should never forget that you can only build up your wealth on the basis of your employer, so I would also trust him with 80% of my assets. If I don't have confidence in my own work, I'm probably with the wrong employer.

@Hannes_SK Risky in the sense that the company goes bankrupt, work is lost and shares fall because the company goes bankrupt.

@six In fact, I find it even more exciting the other way around. I know people who work for a DAX company and are extremely proud of it, and if you ask them why they don't have shares in the company, they'll tell you it's too risky. On the other hand, it is not risky to make your entire income dependent on this company. Nevertheless, I agree with you that I do not see this critically for a few thousand euros. But if 50% of my deposit of e.g. 200.000€ is in shares of my company, that would be something else again.
