Why is this unfair? Since when do employees feel entitled to own a part of the company -- but only if it goes well, right? Wouldn't it be more fair if they had to pay up if the company went under?
Misplaced sense of entitlement, this. You work for a company, they pay you. What the owners/founders do with it is up to them. And if you think this is unfair, then you should probably start your own -- with all the risks, hardships and possible benefits that come with it.
