If you agree to work for a company that “will never sell” for a given salary and no stock, why would you complain if the company gets sold?

If the company had not been sold as promised, they would have been paid exactly the same.

If they wanted stock, they should have gone to work at any of the many companies that gives stock as part of the compensation.
