Facebook to give $1,000 to each of its 45,000 employees

Facebook is giving $1,000 as bonus to each of its 45,000 employees to support them with liquid cash amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced in an internal memo that all employees will earn at least their full bonuses for their six-month review, reports The Information.
“I’m told Facebook has never done this, giving all employees at least their full normal bonuses, in its 16-year history,” journalist Alex Health tweeted.
Some full-time Facebook employees have apparently taken over some of the work done by third-party contractors so that those contractors can stay home.
Facebook has already asked its Seattle and Bay Area employees to work from home.
