> I believe the best advice for you is to find a lawyer in the state where the company is incorporated and hire them. The value of this advice depends on the value of the options; but I agree. You need a lawyer to represent your interests separately from the company. It sounds like there are a few different stakeholders here: OP, the other employee shareholders, and the investors. If there are other employees who are being similarly diluted, maybe try to join up with them. The biggest reason for this is that retaining a lawyer allows you to remove yourself from the situation and continue to be effective in your job. Let your lawyer have the nasty arguments and keep yourself out of it.
