I like that this article places a portion of the blame on the founders or recruiters who try to hire new employees. In order to attract the best talent, it is easy for these people to say everything is going awesome and the options will be worth a million dollars.

But in reality, it's the founders and the board who decide whether or not to take VC funding and who should communicate clearly and realistically with employees to keep expectations in check.
