That's literally insane for Korean living standards. Those people can basically retire

So does Samsung have a union?

How about TSMC or ASML?

This is what bonuses would average out to in the US as well. It’s just that the CEO would get $100 million and the workers maybe $10k each. Does the article say how it’s going to work?

Meanwhile tech workers in the US spend all day online defending billionaires who wouldn't piss on them to put out a fire and arguing about why we can't have unions because blah blah blah rugged individualism.

And, soon someone will come along claiming unions and strikes don’t work. /s

Any bonus is better than no bonus but averages are deceiving. Maybe VPs would get 10m and line workers 10k ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm never a big fan of Samsung haha. I'm more like a fan of Google as hardware
