> Isn't this illegal? It's actually a very tricky question. If the bonuses, perks, etc. for everyone are lowered, such that those at the low end cross the threshold of wanting to leave, then it's probably legal. If people at that low end are singled out for poor treatment, then it might be "constructive dismissal" and thus illegal in most jurisdictions. Facebook is probably treading as close to that line as they can, or (even more likely) stepping just a bit over and relying on lawyers to keep it from becoming too expensive. This is the barrier that class-action suits are meant to overcome, BTW.
