Scenario

When startup equity splits no longer reflect reality

Our startup team has this thing where we all pretend the equity split we agreed on two years ago still makes sense even though three of us are doing completely different work now and one person basically checked out months ago. Everyone's dancing around it in our weekly meetings and I can feel the resentment building but no one wants to be the person who brings up money.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The team is collectively maintaining a fiction about fairness while individually nursing grievances about contribution.
