Stupid little 'well done' awards

[Pogle]

When I was at Nationwide I got a medal for releasing my first code change - and 3 dolly birds came to my desk and did a little song and dance routine before draping it round my neck. Something about "Pride, passion and belief" ISTR.

One of the contractors I worked with at Nationwide was given a Pride award and put it on his CV.

When I worked on Wall Street selling penny stocks at the end of each week we were rewarded with beer, prostitutes and as much cocaine as we could sniff. One week we had a dwarf tossing competition. Halycon days.

Many of the cynics in this thread would actually fall over themselves with delight if the boss gave them a free pair of Raybans for writing a good Perl script or whatever. They would casually mention it to all family and friends, put it on their CV, wear them even at night, and then, if offered an extension with a rate cut, would accept it in the most sycophantic terms...

I like an acknowledgement of my hard work. Like a rate rise.

If they make a song and dance about how good you are, that's great ammunition when you request a rate/pay increase.

FLC you are rocking that dress!

Back in the nineties when cash was aplenty, the team I was contracting for delivered something on time and we were all presented with an Olympic faux gold medal in celebration that we lied on a delivery date or something.

I felt like Linford Christie.

Without the lunchbox.

Without the lunchbox.

a bit of silicon could sort that for you.
