Leave it up to Lemmy users to paint paying employees to be healthy as a bad thing...

That's not paying to be healthy, it's withholding money until you dance their little dance, no matter the circumstances.
Not everyone should run, not everyone can run, but regardless, it's degrading and evil.
The best way to ensure people are happy is to remove stress from their lives. If you're employer, it means good working conditions and good pay, not hunger squid games

it's withholding money until you dance their little dance

Okay so if they don't exercise, it's deducted from the compensation they've earned? I must have misunderstood.

told his workers that their year-end bonuses had been canceled. Instead, the money will be distributed across each coming month, and how much employees receive will depend on how far they run.

Kinda seems like "canceled bonus" should have been in the headline...

There is also an option to read more than a headline

My time and attention is finite.

And yet you chose to waste it on skimming trough headlines and arguing in comments about shit you hadn't read. You don't seem to value it at all

Better than using it to give free views to articles with clickbait headlines.

Nope, not better at all. Worse, since you're getting l nothing useful from that, and on top of that you making the discourse worse with your uninformed comment

That's the author's fault, not mine.

Yeah, instead of just leaving their article as a merely words for you to ignore they should've come to your house and read it to you out loud until you get it. It's an easy mistake a lot of authors make, they have nobody but them to blame
