I just started working at my first startup. Given that the employees are so crucial in building the product that is sold, why is it so uncommon for significant proceeds from M&As to go to employees rather than founders?

I realize that VCs like to take the lion's share, but even with what remains most of the stories I hear are of founders taking large payouts while employees get relatively little.

I applaud Perfect Audience for recognizing the value of employees and allowing them to participate in the windfall.
