But why? Aren't most of their employees going to still be making their salary anyways? What do they need the extra money for? The people in the economy that really need the money are not the people working at Facebook. I mean, congrats to Facebook employees, I just don't understand why.
The 'exceeds' performance review will have a much bigger impact on income.
Damn, say what you will about FB, that's a gesture and a half.
If they gave that money to contractors, that would actually be a gesture of good will. Honestly I feel like they'd be better off only giving it to contractors and ignoring their employees, who are already extremely well-paid.

Not every FB employee is a highly paid software engineer who has savings to weather a multi-month public health crisis.
Meanwhile in silicon valley people making an average of $228k a year get a $1,000 for no reason. They are on salary already and $1,000 doesn’t move the needle for them. This is absurd.

Yes, but in the Bay Area it's not uncommon to have household workers – cleaners, nannies, etc. Something like this would allow people to continue to pay those folks who are not working now, and have no other form of income or assistance.
