      is the insurance good enough to cover the cost of a knee and a hip for me? because that’s what i’m gonna need if they want me to take up running. at minimum.

      this is not a bonus available to employees who can’t take up running, for whatever reason.

        I’m guessing China has far better insurance than the US and you don’t pay nearly as much for doctors or operations there

      I’ve had several companies offer to partly cover the cost of a gym or exercise/weightliss/smoking cessation program. Similar idea but much better for covering health improvements for anyone. It’s also not presented as a bonus tied to job performance, but a benefit related to healthcare

      Unfortunately there’s that pesky qualification “partly”. In general I haven’t been incented because I still have to pay too much and the inconvenience of the paperwork just makes it … inconvenient

      In principle I see it, and I did used to have this opinion when I was younger. But as I’ve got older I’ve associated getting paid with working (for some odd reason) and the last thing I want to do is work on my relaxing evening jog, and think about how much money I can make.

      I would love it if an employer would let you take time off during the day to workout, though. There’s only so much you can work until a lunch break
