make me sick, literally I have physical reaction while there, on compulsory in person meeting in the conference room. When I did work hard on significant things, brought much more added value than expected – nobody have noticed. I am very resentful to these awards ever since… Regular colleagues are being awarded for not much special things. This year, many colleagues were awarded that are in company 1 year or less and “oh they are such a quick learners” – ffs, they take full salary, they should be learning quickly! Meanwhile it is demotivating for long term stable employees… because this is award coming with significant money bonus, and it hurts to be overlooked.
Do you think that such employee awards can even be contraproductive, when they pick and choose average employees and award them, when meanwhile other very good performance employees get demotivated?
