We have these cash awards at work and they had the ceremony this week. Typically I don't go because every year the awards are given out to the people that... to me, do nothing, but I went and shock of shock... the awards were given out to the people who didn't deserve them.

On the one hand... we have a structure at work that is the top people, the middle people, and the bottom people. I am in the middle. Because I have the opportunity to interact with the top people basically I have some perks that the bottom people will never see.

So I can see that the bottom people should get to have special treats for them too. However, it just really bothers me. As the middle men we rely on the bottom people to do their work right. But they don't. And the top people are constantly annoyed with the bottom people and we have to clean up after them. Because the bottom people don't get paid much no one will say anything and then they get awards?

Grrr.. next year.. not going.
