Humans don't behave rationally. It is better to take this into account when planning your own actions as otherwise you open yourself up to risk when humans act like humans.
Even in the really small case of taking only 75% of the salary to work only 75% of the hours due to not needing the money and valuing your time more. It can cause problems in the team because they see the result of you working only 75% of the time but they rarely encounter the effects of being paid only 75% of the amount.
So when you are getting paid far more and working far less because of all the initial investment and taking on the initial risks (something employees are likely not able to see and fully appreciate), then there is going to be resentment.
>taken to its logical conclusion, this means investors shouldn't exist!
And there are groups of people (political and not) who have a negative view of investors compared to employees.
Leaving a smallish company where the original owner is sitting on their ass is behaving rationally. Once key players start slacking it's time to start looking for a new job before competition puts you out of yours. At a small company, the owner is usually a key player.
And I don't mean slacking as in "not working 7 days a week". I mean not working, roughly, a normal work week.
