Some companies go above and beyond to reward their employees with jaw-dropping bonuses. Among them is this company from China that organised a party and decided to arrange a competition to determine which employee would get what amount. The management of a crane company laid S$11 million in cash on a table and asked the employees to “take as much cash as they want” within 15 minutes.

According to 8 Days, one person managed to count $100K yuan (S$18.7K) worth of cash in 15 minutes. Other employees stacked up cash and counted the money as fast as possible. One of the videos shared on the platforms also had a caption, “Henan company is giving out millions for its year-end bonus. Employees can bring home as much cash as they can count.”

Take a look at the video that has surprised people:

Social media reacts:

A third commented, “You can just credit into the worker’s accounts instead of this circus act. Kind insulting. But it’s a different world behind the Great Wall.” A fourth expressed, “More of this and less of team bonding.”

In 2023, the company distributed a large amount of money among employees during an annual dinner.
