Yeah. HR had most likely started the final bonus payout process before they knew about the bank's situation. This was just a coincidence of timing.

This surely takes "charitable intepretation" to a whole new level!

Since the article itself states that the payout of the bonuses was scheduled for March 10th in advance of the current situation it doesn't seem to.

I got my bonus for 2022 paid out on March 3rd. Everyone in my company knew the bonus payout date months ago.

It always is a coincidence isn’t it. Isn’t that unfortunate.
