Many dealer staff around the country may have received a Christmas bonus last year for a job well done, or even a ham.
But reports out of china indicate one Chinese dealership may have taken the concept a little further.
The dealership in Lishui, Zhejiang province, have given staff Chinese New Year bonus of live pigs. Big ones.
The animals weighed between 150-170kg.
Thepaper.cn reports employees could have the animal ‘despatched’ and butchered for them, or take it home live.
“Half the staff chose to transport live pigs home,” the company owner was quoted as saying. “Many employees told me their parents like this kind of new year gift.
Most of his employees came from the suburbs and rural areas so he felt giving live pigs to staff would make their families happy.
