A passive aggressive employer decided to get the last laugh in a wage dispute with his employees, by paying them their wages entirely in coins.
Disgruntled workers in Nanning City, Guangxi, were told that they couldn’t receive their wages until the project was finished. They appealed to the local labor board, and their employer was forced to pay up.
However, he wasn’t going to let it go that easily, so he decided to pay them in the most annoying way possible: by paying them entirely in coins. The workers received more than 50,000 coins, totaling roughly 52,000 RMB and weighing over 300 kilograms.
The employer admitted that they did it because they were ‘angry’ at the workers’ ‘bad attitudes’.

Right. Some hire thugs to beat the workers so they will go home without pay.
