If someone is doing 1/100th of the work per unit of time you're able to do, why would you work the same amount of time for the same compensation? Is that any different than selling gold at the price of copper? Of course, having equity in the business changes the equation somewhat. Otherwise, the only issue anyone should have here is what the agreement between you and your employer calls for, and how transparent this relationship is. Just because others in the marketplace are making bad deals shouldn't mean you have to as well.
