Here's what my company thinks is a great way to “celebrate” (they have a ridiculous point program in play):
To celebrate Employee Appreciation Day we want to reward you for showing your peers appreciation. Any employee who sends a peer recognition in this Friday, March 4th, will be entered into a drawing for one of ten chances to win 5,000 Points. One entry per employee.
By definition, “Employee Appreciation Day is an event, observed on the first Friday in March, meant for employers to give thanks or recognition to their employees.”
Wow. THIS, from a company with thousands of employees globally. So to get a small fucking chance to earn 5,00 points, I, an employee, have to submit a blurb about another employee. Ummm…thanks?
