According to Wikipedia, JCPenny’s has 90,000 employees. Assuming half were furloughed/fired (and it’s probably more than that), then distributing $7,500,000 to 45,000 people is $166/person.

Are you making the point that a large bonus to a few people is better than a small bonus to many people? Can you expand on why that is?

I’m making no judgement or claim either way, just providing context.

I know workers who could really use $166. That's a week of cheap groceries.
