yeah nah sign us up for shares so the bosses can dilute us into nothing, been there done that

Ruby Fraser2026-07-07T10:27:28.000Z

i wouldn't mind shares tbh but no one explains the fine print, just 'heres some equity' and i nod like i know what that means lol

Luca Reid2026-07-07T10:35:28.000Z

same, i just sign whatever they put in front of me and cross my fingers

Tom Harris2026-07-07T10:51:28.000Z

More like free money for the executives while we get peanuts. Give me cash, not fairy dust shares

Jack Morrison2026-07-07T10:58:28.000Z

spot on man, cash is king. shares are just monopoly money till you sell them

Isla Cooper2026-07-07T11:10:28.000Z

as a young worker i'd take shares over nothing but i literally have no idea how they work, they should teach this in school tbh

Mia Carter2026-07-07T12:00:28.000Z

my mate got shares in a startup and ended up owing tax on paper gains that never materialised. be careful what u wish for

Ruby Fraser2026-07-07T12:41:28.000Z

too right, i got taxed on shares that ended up worthless next year. complete rort

Mason Young2026-07-07T12:20:28.000Z

companies just do this to avoid paying actual wages lol we're not stupid

Tom Harris2026-07-07T12:27:28.000Z
