I don't think this relates to the discussion at all. Based on the article, it sounds like it was not merely a perk at Miso. If you say you are going to pay it (in writing, etc), you must pay it.

At your company, I'm sure you've done the correct legal things to make sure that it's defined as a perk. But I don't see any evidence that that's how Miso has done it.

BTW, showing no loyalty to your former employees is a black mark in my book. I would urge you to reconsider your attitude.

I'm not so sure that his actions would be considered "disloyal" to his former employees. If anything, his former employees might be happy that their founder was called out on a mistake, to prevent the founder from doing other sleazy tactics on current employees.

I'm not going to defend my boss if he did something morally deficient, and I would be happy if my coworkers has the cajones to call him out.
