You join a startup in hopes of it getting acquired or going public some day. Fig was never going to go public so if I worked there I’d be happy about the acquisition assuming that I wasn’t stiffed on my stock options when joining.

Unless it's an acquihire where you get ~nothing for your stock and you have to interview to keep your job.

Lol and it's at amazon -- I imagine they'll lose a bunch of staff over that fact alone.
