ESSP When Company Outlook Isnt The Best

Curious to hear from you savages who have watched Margin Call and Wolf of Wall Street one too many times.

A big benefit of working for a publicly traded company is utilizing the Employee Stock Purchase Program, where the discount on buying shares for the company you work for can be from 5-15%.

Given tech has been hit hard and companies outlook have changed, has that caused anyone to change their contributions to ESSP. Allowing yourself to be able to build up a bigger safety net, if the layoffs continue

It is also pretty volatile to have so much in one companies stock rather than using that money to invest in $SPY.
