As I understand it those retained as contributors received a payout. It still wouldn't be a true statement as the staff weren't the only people that contributed to their success. Did they send a cheque to staff that left too I wonder ;-) ?

Yes, that was kind of the point. There are (probably) more than 100,000 marketplace contributors, at least close to 100k. About 1,000 current and previous staff members got a payout.
The big headline in bold - "Staff share in the profits." - might be a clue. ;)

Its my aversion to obscure corporate speak really...it makes me grumpy. If they paid staff they should say that not "everyone who contributed to their success" which is an imprecise term. Just call me Mr Scrooge ;-).

Now that I can agree with, although it was clearly in Part 3, the Staff section of the PIS.
Anyway, if all of us got a piece of the payout it would amount to a whopping $8 per year. Would that make us happy? ;)

Thats a couple of beers! So for a short time yes. I find in this business it pays to take comfort from small things. It would also make me feel a lot better about the company.
