We made a similar arrangement a year ago, and it didn't cause any significant issues. We chose to be transparent about it, and every employee was allowed to sell the same percentage of their shares (as long as they're vested) as the founders. Most chose not to sell. People should understand that building a successful independent company is easier when the founders don't have to worry about their financials.
