      From the article

      “ That’s about $45 each on average, the lawsuit notes. The actual individual payments will be calculated based on the employee’s tenure with the company, but each one will receive at least a fixed payment of $20, with an additional $22 to $59 tacked on for many.”

      The average dollar amount per employee and the amount each employee will actual be paid are not the same.

        Thanks! It’s still peanuts either way, but it’s weird they still tried to spin it like everyone got $20 when many seemed to get more than double that.

          Mm they didn’t really spin it though? It’s a flat increase to 20$ with tenure tacked on, which is case by case. The person you replied to directly quoted from the article.
