    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.

        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.

      It’s because these employees needed these bonuses. They were essentially a normal part of their compensation. Now it’s being held hostage.

      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?

      I know what to ask to HR
