Thinking the amount was too small to "lose face", he/she withheld the employees' bonus as donation.

According to reports, donating money for the victims in Sichuan earthquake-stricken areas is a good deed. However, some enterprises complained that the amount of donation was not enough and it lost face. They even forcibly deducted employees' bonus to make up the number. Yesterday, Mr. Xiang, a citizen, reported that a large catering group in Guangzhou had forcibly deducted bonuses from more than 3000 employees to use as donations. The employees thought that donation should be an altruistic act from the heart. Once "forced" or "regulated", its nature would be changed.

Forcibly deducting bonuses for donation

Mr. Xiang is a waiter at a seafood restaurant on Yanjiang Road. He said that as early as May 15th when they received their salaries, the company had organized a donation event. "As waiters, we earn about 1500 yuan per month including the bonus. With limited abilities, we usually donate 20 yuan. Although it's not much, it's all sincere," he said.
