He had no leverage so had to take a hit when returning to Hyundai. So maybe they did offer him an increase to stay, but it was starting from a much, much lower base. The win bonus was high, but you need to be winning to get that benefit....
You can get this turnover info even on the paying country level from the public Estonian companies registration database. Figures I posted are valid.
