We either need agents who will negotiate on the employees behave or some kind of training that is part of a 4 year degree. Negotiations and finances are hard - this is why some people are good at selling and some are not. Engineers are usually good at their primary job and usually not that good at defending against other social engineering tactics founders use

edit: don’t want to blame founders, they also need to preserve their equity for future employees but there has to be a better balance
