I’m not too sure with how options are seen in that 2% number, but I believe it’s because they hand out a lot of options. For Software Engineers at least, Netflix will give you like somewhere around $400k base salary all in cash. But you can split that $400k into options at any ratio that you want, could just not take any base salary at all and have $400k worth in options. I *THINK* that’s how it works, at least how I remember it... they don’t give any shares.

 My job does this too for Netflix stock except I have to do it myself through Robinhood and I don’t get paid $400k.
