Some companies do things right.

Hmmm, so these employees got big bonuses because the company did well and generated good returns for its owners.

Does that mean that Wall Street firms that generated big returns and paid their employees big bonuses as a result were also doing things right? Or is the rightness of paying bonuses merely determined by the base salary of the recipient?

I think the salient point is that they paid out proceeds from the sale as bonuses, not that the company paid bonuses solely due to good performance. It's exceptionally generous to pay out that much money as bonuses, which is the primary aspect of the story. All I know is I would definitely do business with any company that shows such respect and care for its employees.

Hm. When the world-wide communist revolution happens, someone should make sure that this business owner keeps his brains inside his head.

I think he embodies "from each according to his ability" a whole hell of a lot more than any of the communists in the entire history of the system. Rather ironic that a decadent capitalist pigdog would do something like that when Stalin could never bring himself to, though.

Too bad Andaras isn't around anymore...
