I’m not too sure why you’re being downvoted, but it is probably because you phrased your statement a bit awkwardly.

But you’re right that (if there is only a very small number of co-founders) employee #1 should never be accepting 1/100 the total equity the founders have. Employee #1 screwed up in negotiating at least half way decent deal for themselves.

I was a bit blunt.

However, it is up to potential employees to refuse offers that are not in their best interest.
