Honestly it could be worse, I worked at a company that gave equity and years later it came out that the founders never intended to sell or take VC money. In that case employees “took below market salaries” thinking the stock is worth something but in reality it’s worthless. At least in this Mailchimp situation if you’re not getting equity I assume you’re happy with your cash comp, I’d you’re not, that doesn’t make sense.
