To quote Don Draper, "That's what the money is for". I think this is situation dependent. If you have people walking in and getting a normal salary, a reasonably good sense of security, and a good work/life balance then it's reasonable to expect that they would get less elsewhere. I'm not sure I agree with less being 0. Of course the opposite is also true. If you take a risk you deserve to get a share of the reward. Unfortunately a lot of people seem to view founders as magic beings who should be worshipped and get all credit for a company.
