On: WeWork’s 17th employee: I was not offered options

[prepend]

I don’t know what an “Operations Associate” is but having a junior person report directly to the COO seems like a really junior admin/help with everything/type.

It’s weird that the COO wouldn’t give options to her admin, I think.

It could also be OP overestimating her value. When I was starting out I thought that working super hard and helping everywhere was the most important thing in the world to me. It took me a while to figure out how value is created for organizations.

Microsoft and Apple made all their early secretaries rich.

Not the ones that quit when the companies were a just few years old.
