Don't be employed by anyone who does; don't work with companies or industries that do; live in a shack and poo in a latrine you dug yourself.

As long as you have a decent capabilities and range, and don't keep all your savings in your employer's stock (either real, or, more stupidly, imaginary "options"), stupidity of your employer will only affect you in the short term. In the longer term, you're likely find another one. It's not fun, but it's how it goes.
