heard of his name, but he's definitely popular among his fellow
employees.

As the former head honcho of PC-maker Lenovo, Yang recently decided to step down from his position, but not before dispersing his $3 million bonus to all 10,000 employees. CNN reports:
Yang Yuanqing distributed $3 million from his bonus among 10,000 junior-level employees, the China-based technology company confirmed Thursday. The employees, such as receptionists, production-line workers and assistants, each received an average bonus of 2,000 yuan, which is $314, in the name of their CEO.
The $314 sum might not seem a lot, until you realize that it amounts to almost an average month’s salary for factory workers in China. Guess this means their Chinese New Year bonus came in a little early for these employees at Lenovo.
