You should have known (should have asked, they should have told you) the percent. That should not be secret, at any size company. Too bad.

You don't think we did ? That's just silly to even think that employees who are more emotionally vested in a startup will forget to ask what their equity is. They don't tell you. That's the norm. Consider yourself lucky if you are told what your equity is worth. And it will be diluted to nothing regardless.
Why would you even join or stay at a startup who's not prepared to give you the real % figure ?
