No, that's absolutely not fair.

Someone took a high risk working at a small startup. That risk should be rewarded with something OTHER than a "nice" job offer, which you can get in 1-2 month of interviews anyway.

Someone understood that stock options and promises are not reliable guarantee of compensation in case of an exit in a SV startup scene.

Fairness lesson learned?
