Almost 100,000 Google employees are about to get a hard-fought $20::Google has agreed to pay out $27 million in a settlement, but the 96,939 involved workers will only take home around $45 each.
What kind of math is this? They will get $20, but actually $45?
From the article
“ That’s about $45 each on average, the lawsuit notes. The actual individual payments will be calculated based on the employee’s tenure with the company, but each one will receive at least a fixed payment of $20, with an additional $22 to $59 tacked on for many.”
The average dollar amount per employee and the amount each employee will actual be paid are not the same.
Thanks! It’s still peanuts either way, but it’s weird they still tried to spin it like everyone got $20 when many seemed to get more than double that.
$20 can buy lots of peanuts.
And peanuts can be used to accelerate compost. If you do, do so only when the time is right because bugs and other larger animals will be attracted to the smell of peanuts.
When is the time right?
That explains why so many product managers got laid off. They were targeting the source of the lawsuit.

Unless the settlement also includes conditions and somebody appointed by the court to ensure compliance
