This is the best summary I could come up with:
A paper company in Guangdong, China wants its staff to run for their bonuses.
Guangdong Dongpo Paper’s chairman Lin Zhiyong told the media on December 7 that employee bonuses would be determined by the number of miles they ran each month, per Guangzhou Daily.
“My business can only endure if my employees are healthy,” said Lin, who claims to have scaled Mount Everest twice — once in 2022, and another time in 2023.
The initiative, however, was ridiculed by people on the Chinese Twitter-like social media platform Weibo.
Depending on one’s age and physical condition, it could also trigger acute heart failure," read one Weibo comment.
Others felt that Lin’s unorthodox practice would spell doom for his company.
