Employee Equity: Dilution

The title strikes me as a bit misleading, since, for all but the earliest employees, and, of course, founders, dilution's going to be in the noise.

I know a del.icio.us employee (one of the first 10) who got completely ripped off on his equity.

joshu hangs around here but I doubt he can comment on it. Crunchbase says delicious was bought for ~$10M. Would an employee #10 ever have more than 1%? So we're talking max $100K before taking investors or acquirers into account. I'd be interested to hear more about what his being "completely ripped off" consisted of. Email me if you don't want to say in public.
