How many companies just have promised equity sitting around without the paperwork being done? This is just pure dishonesty. I know folks who have said things like this and I A.L.W.A.Y.S. say "Sure for now send me a text message or email until we can get to documents." Sure enough I have never gotten a text or email or anything in writing. People/companies who are serious will take an action and tell you exactly when (in the next few days) this will be handled and how.
