Huawei isn’t forgetting is staff who made wading through the stormy water looked easy. The tech giant has disclosed that it will double the salaries of its over 190,000 employees in October to thank them for enduring the Trump administration’s blacklisting of the Chinese company for allegedly spying on behalf of the Chinese government.
An internal message to staff obtained by the Nikkei Asian Review read; “In 2019, the company and all employees were, and are, facing extraordinarily external challenges. Upon approval by the company’s president, a special dedication award will be paid.”
The memo also revealed that the bonus will be distributed to all active employees of Huawei and its direct subsidiaries with a performance rating above C and no information security violations. The bonus will be equal to each staff member’s basic October salary. Huawei presently has 194,000 employees spread across 170 countries.
