I think there is way too much scope for bad actors in this. The employer holds all of the information and all of the cards. I was a tier 1 significant common shareholder in my own company and saw a bunch of shenanigans. The rank and file employee with 0.00X% stock options subject to weird rules and tax doesn’t stand a chance. From the employees perspective, have to find a massive outlier in terms of company success and then hope to not get screwed or be diluted to hell. Lottery ticket odds are the right ballpark.
