Chinese paper company Guangdong Dongpo Paper has flipped the bonus game by paying employees based on how many kilometers they run each month! Yes, you read that right – instead of traditional year-end cash bonuses, you get paid to run! The company president claims healthy workers are the foundation of success, but social media is ablaze with criticism: is this motivation or a new form of workplace pressure? Employees worry about discrimination against older or health-limited staff, and the risk of injuries and stress. Is this a revolutionary reward system or just another way to make you run for your paycheck? Sound off – would you run for a bonus or is this just too much? #runforpay
