Employee compensation is tied to profit in the form of RSUs. A decline in profit would substantially decrease the value of those RSUs and thus compensation. You can't just decrease profit in a vacuum and hand that revenue to employees, you have to consider the second-order effects.

It's more complicated than that, but it would in the end be close to 300k salary increase. The correct way to think about it is, what if the company was entirely owned by employees? How would income change, then?
