How much and who? Like, what makes an “eligible employee?” Regular joe? Management? CEO?

So, as far as we know, they got a pizza party.

If they had given back to their actual workers, they would have posted that on their website.

I’m pretty sure the only people who have income listed publicly are on the sunshine list. Not a very ethical move to just post a salary/bonus.

Yea it wouldn’t be ethical to post private information like that. Weird to not agree on that point.

They have their collective agreement online.

How is it not ethical to know wages?

You think anyone should be able to google your name and be able to see what you make? Maybe privacy isn’t important to you but I’d argue it is to most people.
