Is there a law/regulation? (federal or state?) Or just a norm?



IANAL. Stockholder laws in Delaware are very protective. As a stockholder you probably can force a company to disclose some basic information like this.

Two problems:

1) You only have those rights once you've been granted the equity.

2) You would have to sue or threaten your current employer.


Well, there's the law of supply and demand. Just go to the company next door that's willing to disclose the equity percentage.
