What about this 10 00:00:49,644 --> 00:00:52,924 Speaker 1: this emotional incentive that this company in China is doing. 11 00:00:53,244 --> 00:00:58,204 Speaker 1: The Chinese company is getting its employees free kittens, bussycats. 12 00:00:58,284 --> 00:01:02,324 Speaker 1: So employees are encouraged to continue working at the company 13 00:01:03,484 --> 00:01:06,004 Speaker 1: with their kittens, and if you leave, you have to 14 00:01:06,044 --> 00:01:10,244 Speaker 1: hand the cat bag.
