Well, if you perform out of the requirements of your job and benefit the community in China, you might just get a nice promotion.
China cop promoted for breastfeeding quake babies
BEIJING (Reuters) – A Chinese policewoman who breastfed babies orphaned during last month’s earthquake has been given a better job, prompting online protests that promotions should be awarded on merit, not merely for good deeds.
Jiang Xiaojuan, 30, left her own baby with her parents and took part in the disaster relief work, breastfeeding nine babies, earning her the nickname of “the police mum” in the press.
She has since been awarded titles of “hero and model police officer” and “excellent member of the Communist Party”, was appointed to the Communist Party of China Committee of the Jiangyou Public Security Bureau and became the bureau’s vice commissar, Xinhua news agency said on Saturday.

While it does seemed strange, I kinda think she deserves it.

Those babies may have died had she not breast feed them…
