Genuinely curious, not judgemental here. How did the usually-much-better-paid people feel about this? Did they complain that their salaries were now closer to the lesser paid people?

Like, I could see somebody not feeling like that's fair so I'm wondering how the morale was impacted by that.

If you read the article it covers that.
It doesn't really. It just said a couple people resigned in protest.
Never understood this. This is like complaining you are unhappy that other people should even have a good life.

It's one thing to aspire to have a good life. And totally different to derive your happiness from watching others suffer.

If their salary was docked to pay for the raises then I can totally see why they left.
My guess is they think they are 10x better than those 70K and yet they are only making 200K. So obviously they want a raise too.
