Anything to avoid improving the workers' well-being.
Edit: they abolished the bonus that is the cultural norm and consistently given out every year, and redistributed it across the workers regular pay. Sony and Bamco now get to advertise a higher salary without actually giving workers any more money.
Actual "Why are you booing me? I'm right" moment.
Damn, this isn’t even a “did you even read the article”, it’s “did you even read the headline?”

Not only higher, but also more stable since, unlike bonuses, a salary cannot be cancelled for some reason.
