My employer sells “stocks” to employees that don’t show anywhere and you can only sell them back to the company after two year. Exchange also isn’t immediate. Company chooses the date.

They really want people to buy those things and are heavily campaigning for it.

They also give a small amount of these stocks as bonuses to people that have performed well.

When I say to people that buying those “stocks” just gives the company free loan, they look at me weird.
