Lenovo CEO Gives His $3M Bonus To 10k Workers

Posted by Soulskill on Friday July 20, 2012 @08:09AM from the what's-the-opposite-of-a-golden-parachute dept.

ndogg writes "Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing has decided to give his $3,000,000USD bonus to his workers instead of keeping it. Those 10,000 employees include receptionists, production line workers, and assistants. That works out to about 2,000 yuan or $300 per employee, which is about a month's worth of salary."

  Agreed! How can they expect their country to become successful if they don't proliferate the idea of only rewarding the people at the top? If they keep up this shit, the money will never trickle down!
