Facebook CEO Zuckerberg announced internally that all 45K employees are getting $1,000 in cash and will earn at least their full bonuses for their six-month review. It’s the boldest step yet by a large co. to offset the financial impact of coronavirus. https://t.co/HwBuW0IIj8

Story now has quotes from Zuckerberg. Also:

- FB contractors will be paid regardless of whether they can do their job from home or not
- FB is shifting its most sensitive moderation work to full time employees
- Exploring giving workers more time off to take care of kids at home
I'm confused. Facebook pays *really* well already, so these are the people who need it least. Why not provide this as, say, donation matches to community organizations helping people who aren't doing well right now? https://t.co/LPVR5PxYfU

I’m told Facebook has never done this — giving all employees at least their full normal bonuses — in its 16-year history
