Are you unaware that digg was a startup and that employees were given options / equity as compensation? It doesn't bother you that someone in particular got a return on that (supposedly equal) equity while regular employees didn't? Charactering expecting your employer to fairly pay out equity in the event of an acquisition as, "backing up a Brinks truck" is stupid. What part of expecting your employer to treat the boss' equity and the employees' equity equally, where one only earns if the other does, is "entitlement"?

I don't work for employers to become a better person; maybe you do. I work for them for my salary plus the options we negotiated.

And frankly, it would appear that the leadership at digg was crippling, not the employees.
