I think if the options are clear and up front, with the "exchange rate" between equity and salary laid out, what you said holds true. I think the tweeter is generally dissatisfied with how little transparency there was.

But then the fact that it is equity has no weight what so ever in the story, it works the same with regular salary : ask for what you want, evaluate properly your position and worth, negotiate, change job if you genuinely think you're worth more but he won't agree, and don't let your boss be the one in charge alone of deciding what's fair to say you're worth, not when he has vested interest in that being as small as possible and you in it being as big as possible. Your boss is not on your side during your contract negotiation. Make the story about how they gave automatic raise based on position but she's not in the grid so don't get one and it's even something many have heard. Except maybe she would have reacted and argued more.
