Chinese Company Pays Employees Based on Kilometers Run: Health Boost or Pressure?

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
