I've learned not to expect anything from being an early employee. It's right in the name, you're an employee. Expecting some sort of consideration for being early is naive. Every time you receive a paycheck you and your employer are even and you shouldn't expect anything more.
- bityard 2y agoThis is true, except in the usual case where early employees are made offers that include some presumption of partial ownership of the company through stock grants or options, often with a corresponding decrease in salary that scales inversely with the strength of the founder's reality distortion field.
- zcw100 2y agoThere's no such thing as presumptive partial ownership. Lando had a presumptive partial ownership and if you do you should expect the Vader treatment, "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further".
