Giving out equity in startups benefits ownership way more than employees. It allows the owners to push employees harder and harder because “you’ve got skin in the game now… you’re an owner.” No you aren’t. Owning less than 1% of anything isn’t ownership.
Yahoo gave me a lot of options when they bought our company. I made so much money from them that Yahoo got less work out of me. I quit after a year, leaving a huge amount of money on the table, because I felt I already had enough.
