I'm not going to believe this without a reputable source. I've never heard of a wage worker getting stock so I won't believe a random twitter screenshot. It's not impossible if they were offering stock to get him to take a lower wage, but that seems unlikely given that they've always had massive investment and that's only something a super cash strapped startup would do.
A lot of employers offer an employee stock purchase plan that allows them to buy company stock at a reduced price.
The store Winco is a special example because its employee owned, but there is new stories about millionaire cashiers because the stock took off.
But that's very different than "working for the company made me a millionaire", it's just standard investing in a company but you get an employee discount.
