A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Yeah, the nuance is kind of nuts but i've got a relative who had and lost about 5m. Could have cashed out at the 5m number but didn't. Got about 40k at the end of all of it.

Numerous friends who went into startups have somewhat similar things, but few had that much equity available for sale at any time.
