In a startup setting, sure! The early employees are typically given a significant stake in the company, that might pay off one day. But there’s none of that in Twitter 2.0 so far.

You’re entitled to your choices obviously, but for me personally it seems absurd that a bricklayer would have to wait until a building is finished or sold to actually get paid. He has no stake, he’s no investor, so it’s on his employer to pay him enough for the whole duration of his employment regardless of the level of financial success of the entire project.
