As reported by Guangzhou Daily, Lin Zhiyong, the chairman of a company that makes paper for various devices, told his workers that their year-end bonuses had been...
Run 2 miles/day to receive a bonus of 130% my salary? That seems insanely good value and this is coming from someone who has run about a total of 2 miles since I left school.
Get the train to work and park just over a mile away, run to catch the train and go to work. After work run back to your car. Instant 130% salary increase
Unless you’re disabled, elderly or otherwise unable to do this… Not to mention how is this tracked? I don’t want MY employer knowing what I do or where I go in my free time.
Yes, of course there needs to be exceptions for those less able.
So people would need to disclose their medical information to their employer now too, and also hope that they not only keep it private, but consider it at all, with all… none of their medical knowledge? Oh, sorry, only disabled people, you know, so that they can qualify for whatever “exceptions” to this discriminatory bullshit the boss comes up with…
It’s the amount that get crazy, my work has some goodies/benefit for people who exercises, but it’s like a free T shirt once in a while, a charity event where they give 1€ per kilometer to charity, and negotiated discount for some activities.
But a 30% or even more bonus?

It’s tracked by a fitness app according to the article. Just turn off permissions once you’ve finished your run.
Ooo boy, time to fire up my GPS spoofer!

Only thing required is this to be made explicitly illegal.

In my company they gave you a fitbit type device. The deal wasn’t as good. I think it was free HSA money or something.
Dystopia on top of dystopia. Need a special fund to not die when sick. Job makes you do extra. labor just to afford health care.
If someone wants to give me a nice Christmas present I’ll wear 2 watches. ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪
It’s because these employees needed these bonuses. They were essentially a normal part of their compensation. Now it’s being held hostage.
