Remember that employee award

Laura14 — Thu, 17 Jan 2019 19:39:30 GMT

that I was nominated for against my will a few weeks ago?

My General Manager just came in wanting my picture. Apparently it was picture day today for every business I have walked into (see the gym paparazzi thread) and no one told me.

I asked why she needed my picture. She said because they do a magazine spread of all of the winners. I guess that was my notice that I won for my area.

The nomination letter went to a place I've never worked at and I guess the congratulations letter they didn't bother with or that also went to the other place.

I told her I would bring in my Glamour Shot from 20 years ago for her tomorrow. And some of you thought I was a bad employee. Sometimes I am but right now they like me. They really like me.

I remember your original post. I didn't understand that anymore than I understand this one. If someone nominated me for an award I didn't want; I would have declined and that would have been the end of that.

@Skididdy and @2blonde Thanks! I have no idea how they picked me since they don't know where I work or what I do and the few interactions I have had with the brass have not gone well since I call spades what they are and have no problem ruffling feathers on behalf of my people but it's a nice honor for my GM which I am very happy for. That girl works her butt off too!

Congrats on the award, but be careful you do not want to begin a life running from the paparazzi.

LOL @beckyb1012. I'll try and remember the little people around here as I grab for my sunglasses...

@Laura14 This is all wonderful, but where's the cash? (That's what I'd be asking!)

At this point @2blonde, I don't even know what the "award" is. Her coming into my office and asking to take my pic might be it. I'll be waiting to see if I even get a copy of the magazine.

Is this an award for complaining or slacking off?

Many of the OP's posts I've read are job-related complaints/issues/problems. I think there is more to this "story."

@GenXmuse Between the two, my mouth has always gotten me into trouble.

@Laura14@Oh well have your acceptance speech ready,enjoy the limelight...it will all be a memory soon!I hope there is some cash or gift card to go with that just to make it meaningful.

If you have more details @Equuleus, I am all eyes.

OMG don't say that @dex! If I have to go do something or do a speech about how wonderful my place of employment is to say thank you for this award...um, I might go viral like the airline steward who took a beer and deployed the emergency chute on his last day. Save me!

@Equuleus@When you work two jobs then it seems to make sense that most of the posts would be job related....not much time for recreation.

Re: Remember that employee award

dex — Thu, 17 Jan 2019 20:28:04 GMT

@Laura14 No make the speech all about you and how deserving you are of the recognition...that would make their mouths hang open.

Re: Remember that employee award

Laura14 — Thu, 17 Jan 2019 20:30:26 GMT

@dex ROFL! You know what? I am going to buy a red carpet, roll it out as I approach the podium, wave like beauty queens do with my tiara and sash that says "Superstar Employee" and let them know it's all about me including the Laura day, no I demand month, that will be held in my honor and with pay.

I also expect tributes in cash or QVC gift cards from anyone demanding my services for the rest of 2019 as an added gratuity.

Just give her the butt shot from your exercise class and be done with it.
