U.S.: Huawei plans $286 million bonus for staff
Chinese telecoms giant Huawei Technologies is planning to hand out 2 billion yuan ($286 million) in cash rewards to staff working to help it weather a U.S. trade blacklisting, the company said on Tuesday.
Reuters reported that, the world’s largest telecoms equipment provider has said it has been trying to find alternatives to U.S. hardware after the United States all but banned it in May from doing business with American firms, disrupting its ability to source key parts.
The cash is a mark of recognition for work in the face of U.S. pressure, Huawei’s human resources department said in a notice to staff seen by Reuters. It will also double pay this month for almost all its 190,000 workers, a company spokesman said.
The cash rewards will likely go to research and development teams and those working to shift the company’s supply chains away from the United States, the spokesman said.
