Scenario

When business partners have unequal contribution but equal ownership

My business partner and I started this company as equals but over the past year I've been doing most of the actual work while they focus on 'strategy' and networking, and we both know it but we keep pretending our 50/50 split still makes sense. I can feel myself getting resentful and they can probably sense it too, but we're both too scared to address what's really happening because it might mean admitting this partnership isn't working.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are avoiding a fundamental conversation about fairness because the stakes feel too high to risk honesty.
