I'd argue this is the "Clueless" deal in the Gervais model. Losers are fully aware that they have struck a bad and unequal economic bargain with their employer, they just don't care. They will happily go elsewhere if a better bargain comes along.

It's the Clueless who believe that their loyalty to their employer is matched by their employer's loyalty to them (hence, "clueless"). They're the ones who stick with the firm, rise into middle management, diligently play the company line, and then get abruptly disillusioned when the firm institutes mass layoffs.

Yeah no shit, if you get fired and get to keep 50% of the stock, it might be a marriage.

Otherwise it's just delusional. My labour goes to the highest bidder.

On second thought, yeah. Losers are strategic enough that they would be appalled to think that they had a "relationship" with their employer.
