True but they didn't crack a genetic code or anything. Why do the court jesters need awards? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, it isn't their only folly, SAGs, People's Choice, Golden Globe's. Just another reason for them to fawn over each other.

In Toastmaster's, I had to give a 5-7 minute speech on accepting an award. Not actually receiving one to reflect on, it opened up the field to being entertaining. I gave myself and accepted the highly coveted "Middle Finger Award" which the business awarded to the employee who was most successful of getting one over on the customers. Now that is an entertaining business award...and sadly it didn't require a set-up explanation as most people in the audience identified with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most award programs within areas where I've worked, eventually downgraded to this. They give 'so many' and then they are just for doing the job they are paid for. These are something to make the boss feel good and not necessarily the employees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a beautiful glass trophy somewhere in the basement in a box. Years ago, I was asked to write a paper on the use of business aircraft in support of company employees achieving and exceeding goals. The paper was submitted by my boss to a benchmarking company and we won some "Best Practices" award. It was a feather in his cap even though I managed the department and wrote the stupid paper. The company wide gloating he did was amazing. I guess I wrote a better paper than the other participants. WOFTAM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted February 25, 2019 Share #20 Posted February 25, 2019 Lots of industries do - or have similarly subjective competitions. Several years ago, I decided to serve Panama Geisha coffee, very expensive and considered the world's best coffee bean, at a Christmas Dinner. I found it, from the original Panama Geisha's Leon Estate and from a batch grown at the very desirable 1600 ft. above sea-level altitude, at Klatch Coffee, a small roaster in Los Angeles who would ship it to me a few days after roasting it for $50/8 oz. The clincher in getting it from a little company like Klatch is that the woman roasting their beans had won the U.S. Barista Championships twice. The coffee was damn good, with hints of fruits, nuts, and chocolate, though that was a one-time splurge. My most recent great beans cost $9.90 for 2 lbs. at Costco.

shootingstar Posted February 26, 2019 Share #23 Posted February 26, 2019 I've never gotten an award for any job. I just got bonus or a good-bye gift when I left a job for another job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
