In China, they said "If you give them that (probably less than $1000) they will quit." Not understanding management asked if it should be more. China manager said "NO! If you give them more than $X, they will quit. The bigger the bonus, the harder they think you expect them to work."
Kinda funny, eh? They equate the job done with the amount of pay. Ahhh...for those days HERE again...
Are they hiring at your company??
