Unless I was given a ton of liquid equity for it, I would not assume it was in my best interest.

Liquid equity implying you could turn it into cash, so equivalent to good salary? Regular compensation is indeed a sufficient driver for employees to want their employer to be successful.

Having a stake in a business doesn’t just mean owning stock looking for future growth. Wanting the business to still be alive this time next year is also a future outcome that can be embraced by anyone who draws a salary.

But would you still do it without the cash?
