Even if they gave every employee a ¥10,000,000 bonus, they would still have ~95% of the money left over.
10 million yen is only 60k usd, that's a big bonus but not nearly as staggering as your comment implies.

Windfalls like this cannot be taking lightly and need to be approached strategically. It depends heavily on tax laws and employee finances overall.
Some common got rich quick concerns off the top of my head: Could accidentally knock people into a higher tax bracket and ruin their finances long term for short term gain. Could accidentally give someone collateral to take out a massive loan they cannot afford long term. Could make someone in a low income area a target before they have a chance to move out. Could accidentally get double taxed by doing the payout incorrectly because they're not practiced with handling this much money. Could overinvest it all back into the company and burn too brightly negating all their success. Doing nothing and simply using it as cash reserves is better than making a foolish mistake and ruining it for themselves.
These are all ludicrous.

This makes zero sense. Read up on how tax brackets actually work. Hitting higher tax brackets doesn't mean your existing income is taxed at the higher rate. No "ruining."

Wtf is this paternalistic BS. They could buy drugs or guns too!! 😱

Nah. Pay people.

“Paying people more would be irresponsible of us. The poors would be burdened with the responsibility of having too much money! It would destroy them!”

...you can't ruin finances by knocking some one into a different tax bracket. This statement alone proves you don't understand how tax brackets work

Imagine being so brainwashed by your Robber Baron overlords that you literally think: More money = less money. Sad.

This is probably the most ridiculous comment I’ll read on Lemmy all year and it’s only March. Wow.
Bro said the most wrong thing I’ve seen all week and won’t respond.
Shame is a powerful motivator for behavior change. It's also a shame we don't use it anymore and instead hide behind computer screens.
What if you have too much money and you become a target?
Well that’s on you for letting people know about if.

Woah, do you actually believe earning more means you'll be taxed cruelly? Actually, you are only taxed more on the income FROM that bracket. Not all income the same

Money can be exchanged for goods and services
Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts!
Explain how!

I mean it sort of makes sense from a business perspective. The amount of rapid scaling is something you can get wrong very easily.
But yeah a lot of big ass bonus checks is a good start.
Yep, it's an amusing headline which makes it perfect for this community but it's a genuine problem that needs to be navigated carefully. But as far as problems go this is a pretty damn good one to have.
Hey, if they have an issue with too much money, they can always give me some, that I can handle it for sure

AAAAAHHH!!!!
I'm getting too much money!
This shit don't mean nothing to me, man.
Haters in shambles. They stay pickin' the corn out of my shit. This Smith & Wesson got me movin' like an invasive species. I got Midas touch, fuck boi! Bitch so bad, I made her shit in my chopped cheese. I'm at the bank about to withdraw all of it. These Valentinos are from Milan, you fucking idiot. That Fentanyl gave me Vitruvian Man flexibility, got me in a state of rigor mortis. Caught a broke boy trying to come up on my Amazon package, so I skinned his ass alive.
Pokemon with guns and more slavery…

The Palworld devs sound like they are very switched on, its a good thing that they recognise that their epic success can bring with it headaches.
Right on! They should drop some fat bonuses and sit tight for a minute while they figure this out. It's a good problem to have, but it's still a problem.

Oh this is something i can surely help with, here is my iban: IT54500-....
At least they can afford lawyers now lol
They should use the money to buy lawyers for when Nintendo sues them, and give Nintendo a fight for once.
Nintendo/TPCI would've already sued if they had a case
