We're comparing the value of an early employee to that of an investor. The article does it by comparing investment dollars and salaries. I tried to keep it in that framework. But since you brought it up, do you know what my investors do when I call them after hours with an emergency? They get to work, tirelessly. They don't file pay disputes.

I'm not arguing against employee rights. I'm letting you point out the difference between an early employee who complains about overtime and a good investor. It's about more than money.
