Sony employees about to be “flooded” in money?

A great year for PS5 and Sony.

Despite the constant shortage of stock, the launch of the PS5 was a resounding success for Sony. The Japanese giant is expected to make a profit of around $10 billion when it publishes its annual report late next month, which will make this 2021 one of the company’s most successful years to date.

One of the reasons for this great success of Sony as well as PS5 is the constant contribution of the employees. As a result, Sony is expected to reward its employees with a record amount of money.

According to Japanese state broadcaster NHK, the tech giant has agreed to pay domestic employees an annual bonus equivalent to seven months’ regular salary. For most employees, this huge bonus will equate to tens of thousands of dollars. However, for some people in the upper management, that number of bonuses can be up to 6 digits (hundreds of thousands of dollars).

Big bonuses like these are not uncommon in Japan, most companies reward their employees with generous bonuses in April when Japan’s fiscal year ends.

Not only was the launch of the PS5 a resounding success that broke the company’s record, it was also a difficult endeavor, with many gamers worldwide still struggling to afford the system. this super hot console.

Sony is expected to earn more than $10 billion for the 2020 fiscal year, which ends this month. The impact of COVID-19 on exclusive game sales, combined with the launch of a popular console are both key reasons why Sony has been so successful.
