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...
But they are paying you for it. Not for your time specifically but for your distance. Idk if you read the article but highest tier is 130% of your base salary.
No they are not. A bonus is for your performance at work and when I run it’s on my own damn time.
IDGAF how much of a bonus it is, 30% is all fine and dandy but again, if they aren’t letting employees run on company time or paying employees for the time while they run during their off hours, then it’s still a fuck no from me and it’s complete bullshit to base a performance based bonus on you doing shit on your off time.
But hey, if you like having your company keeping tabs on how much you run vs how well you actually do at work for your bonus, I guess good for you, just not my cup of tea.
I’ll never understand why anyone enjoys running. I absolutely hate it and feel terrible after running. I ran every day for 22 years (former military) and hated every single day.
I’m sorry, the last two comments were immature and not representative of who I am. Don’t know what came over me, but it’s not the way to behave or act online or in person.
You don’t have to accept this apology but know I strive to be better than what this comment chain shows.
I would add: And bonuses are a BS excuse to overwork employees and making them work overtime for free. Having to go above and beyond simply to earn the end of year bonus caused me huge amounts of stress, anxiety, depression, and even affected my physical health.
You know how I solved that problem? By quitting and moving to a better company.
It’s never been an issue for us. People go before they come in or at the end of the day. We’re at a Air Force base so if be different at other installations.
I mean being active anyway is a good thing for you
And if the bonus is 30% of your monthly salary each month to do a bare minimum of movement that sounds like easy money
So just don’t take the bonus, then? Easy enough. Bonuses aren’t part of your normal wages. They’re given, not owed, not unless you do whatever they say you have to in order to earn them. So if you don’t feel like doing whatever it is that your company demands in order to receive the bonus, then just don’t do it and don’t get the money.
You should probably run miles each month anyway so maybe you won’t die in your sixties from heart disease.
Yeah, what’s wrong with you and your stupid wheelchair? If you want a bonus, you should get up out of that wheelchair and start running on your stumps!
Unless the company is going to allow me to run in company time or pay me my base pay plus overtime on top of the bonus that’s a hard fuck no from me.
Company wants my time, they better damn well pay for it.

What if you get this bonus on top of your normal bonus? Would you walk then?
This screams I’m overweight.
I’m not overweight but fucking hate running.
I’ll never understand why anyone enjoys running. I absolutely hate it and feel terrible after running. I ran every day for 22 years (former military) and hated every single day.
I prefer rowing, that is actually fun.
This screams I hate exercise and I’m overweight.
This screams I’m a pedantic little cuntnugget.

Again sorry.
Why are you so angry in every comment?
I run anyway, may as well get paid for it
I mean me too, but not for money
Now you’d technically be a professional runner.

Yeah I wouldn’t even want to play video games if my bonus was contingent on it. Way to suck the joy out of something positive, corpos
DoD employees get paid to workout during the workday at least. It’s nice.
In theory.
In practice, it has to be approved by your supervisor and is only for times when it won’t interfere with progress on actual work.
So all they’ve gotta do is give you a lot of work to do…or just say no…and you don’t get that anymore.

Wait, is your argument here that people in wheelchairs are incapable of exercising? That’s pretty ableist, dude.
I’m pretty sure they’re incapable of running. You know, the thing they give bonuses for?
