On the other hand, if you are lucky enough to work somewhere in the UK that grants options, those options are likely void the moment you leave the company so this entire discussion wouldn't even take place.
I've been granted options twice, both times essentially designed to stop people leaving during a rough period. Given how few UK startups float it wasn't much of an incentive!
