If the stock price is lower than the stock option price, is there anyway to get value when leaving the company

Question

I own about 6,000 shares of stock that I will now have to exercise as I have left the company. The stock price is now less than the option purchase price. Can this still be of value to me, or do I just let it go?

Answer 1

let it go.

I have options with Nautilus at  $32 a share,  when I left the company the stock was at $3 a share...worthless

Answer 2

Its of no value. Get it for frree or else theres no point of paying more for what can be bought for cheaper from the market.
