As Lunar New Year approaches, one of the most exciting things for everyone is the chance to get a little bonus to make the holiday even warmer and happier. Every company or individual usually has a different bonus amount based on their contributions throughout the year. There have been plenty of wild bonus ideas from companies, but the one causing the biggest buzz online right now is this unique case.
At a company in China, the leadership came up with an insanely creative way to hand out New Year bonuses that has everyone curious and hyped. Employees get to decide their own bonus by counting money themselves. Recently, a video surfaced showing this bonus event at a company in Henan, China, and it quickly went viral. A huge pile of 35 billion VND (around $1.5 million) was placed on a big table, and the employees’ task was simple: count as much money as they can in 15 minutes, and whatever amount they count becomes their bonus.
The company head explained, “This is our year-end review and recognition event. You have 15 minutes to count the money. If you count correctly, you get that amount. If you make a mistake, you lose up to 10 bills.” Naturally, the employees were laser-focused, using every brain cell to count as fast and accurately as possible. According to insiders, the fastest counters managed to count over 250 million VND (about $11,000), which is no small bonus.
The video quickly grabbed the attention of a huge online audience. Many even joked about wanting to know the company’s name so they could apply and secure a cozy bonus for next year’s Lunar New Year.
