As the technology industry continues to see a rise in layoffs and mergers, the fate of employees in these situations is often uncertain. However, Mark Cuban, a renowned entrepreneur and business mogul, has a different approach when it comes to his companies being acquired. In fact, employees working for any of Cuban’s subsidiaries may find themselves in a more positive situation.
In a recent post on X, Cuban shared his surprising answer to what happens to employees at his companies when they are sold. And the answer may come as a pleasant surprise to many. Cuban stated, “In every business I’ve sold, I’ve paid out bonuses to every employee that was there more than a year.” He went on to explain that with the sale of Broadcast.com, 300 out of the 330 employees became millionaires, thanks to the $5.7 billion acquisition by Yahoo! in 1999. Even with the sale of the Dallas Mavericks, Cuban made sure to compensate his employees with over $35 million, and only one of his companies experienced layoffs after the sale.
But it’s not just about the financial compensation for Cuban. In a February interview with Entrepreneur, he shared that the toughest decision he has to make in his career is deciding to shut down a business and let go of employees. As a successful business owner, Cuban understands the importance of taking care of his employees, even in these difficult situations.
