In my view, you're the one spreading lies here.
I haven't seen anywhere that top management is excluded. Please link to sources if you have reliable ones.
About the bonus being spread over 230 employees: no one can know how much will go to each employee. From my experience with shenanigans like this, usually two guys will each get 40% of the whole bonus, and the other 228 will get the remaining 20%. Do you have actual data on that or you're just interpreting this in the most charitable possible way you can???
