    Reading further, walking is only counted at a 0.3 : 1 ratio of distance, for no conceivable reason. So you can run for ~12 minutes or walk for ~1 hr, it seems.

    But why should my bonus be tied to something that is not at all related to my work? Should I get a pay cut if I eat a Dorito? Am I worthy enough of a pittance, CEO? Or should I be jumping through literal hoops?

      I am aware but without other data points I am not convinced you can police that. Otherwise they need to set minimum pace and/or heart rate minimums to measure exertion. What is a run vs a walk is drastically different between athletic ability, age, sex, etc. all the article says is distance so without more detail I am not convinced that the ratio holds water.

      It’s a bonus. It’s not your salary. Bonuses are often not even measured in quality of work and a lot of time networking and impression plays a strong role in who gets what. Is that part of your job? Yes and no. Bonuses are not entitled. Don’t treat it as such. If you would prefer kissing ass is a better way to get a bonus then do that instead. You have freedom of choice. Don’t make it sound like this is an ultimatum.
