In every business I've sold I've paid out bonuses to every employee that was there more than a year.
Broadcast.com, 300 out of 330 employees became millionaires. Microsolutions, I paid out 20 pct to our 80 employees. HDNet wasn't as big , but paid out about 20pct of what I got to employees, Mavs wasn't a total exit but we paid out more than 35m dollars to employees.
And only HDNet had any layoffs right after the sale
