> It's normal in the tech industry to own a lot of stock in the company you work for.

For certain companies, but misleading: Most of that is stock which their employer structured into compensation, and sometimes they only kinda-maybe-potentially own it because it's an unvested RSU or un-exercised stock-option etc.

That's not the same as taking your paycheck and then choosing to spend part of it on shares from the open market.
