I don’t understand why people don’t see the outrage here for what it is: pure greed.
If you aren’t offered equity, the company’s decision on whether to sell or remain private is completely irrelevant to you. Whatever happens, you’re not going to benefit anyway. Why even give a shit? Do your job and collect your paycheck, don’t catch feelings thinking you’re part owner. You knew the deal going in, now you want to alter it after the fact for your own benefit? Just another case of people seeing a pile of money and wanting to grab a piece.
If you wanted equity and chose to work there anyway hoping that someday the founders might throw you a bone in case they changed their minds and decided to sell, you’re a fool.
