Wasn't it their choice to get volatile shares instead of a normal salary?

I am asking seriously because this is something I do not understand. Were they fooled by someone?

If I get part of my salary in variable then I cannot be that surprised if that variable is zero.

Everyone knows going into a startup your equity may end up being worthless. Anything else is ignorance.
