If you are a minority shareholder, it doesn't matter. It is a good thing that the company allows employees to participate in shares and buy company shares. What you get is not a small interest, but a dividend. It is estimated that the leadership mobilized the enthusiasm of employees.
Because if all employees have shares, they will take the unit as their home, that is, the owner of the unit, and the interests of the unit are the interests of the employees.
If everyone works hard and the company makes a good profit this year, then everyone will get a lot of dividends. On the contrary, if everyone doesn't work hard and the company loses money this year, then everyone won't get dividends, that is, they won't get dividends.
So the company asks you to pay and give you shares, so you can work hard. Now you are not only an employee, but also the boss of the company.
One more thing, the shares cannot be returned, but can only be transferred. If one day you don't want to be a shareholder, you can transfer your shares or give them to your colleagues.
And a note. If your company goes bankrupt, as a shareholder, according to the company bankruptcy law, your company needs to auction all assets first, and after paying off all debts, the remaining money will be returned to the shareholders in proportion, that is to say, if the company goes bankrupt, you can't get back the money you bought shares. Because if the company can repay all debts and return the money to shareholders, there is no need to go bankrupt. Now that we are bankrupt, we must have no money. If you have no money, your share of the money will definitely not come back.
