I didn't have any equity. The only thing I invested was several years of my life and a fair amount of blood,sweat&tears. The other early days engineers and myself worked our asses of, going beyond the call of duty as they say. I don't think I (or my former coworkers) felt entitled as such. We certainly did feel like we were underappreciated when piles of cash were being handed out to everyone but us.
- whamlastxmas 8y agoThe harsh truth is that your expectations were wrong. I could be a lot nicer about this but it's the simple fact. You thought you deserved more because you busted your ass and took a risk, but the reality is that it's just sort of silly to work at startups and bust your ass without some legally binding agreement to potentially get a reward for your above-and-beyond work.
