The man who was annointed Manager of the Year at my company on the 8th of December, turned in his notice on the 23rd of December and is now working for one of our competitors.

The person who was MoY two years ago quit in like July after having the honor for 7 months. I think two weeks is a record.

Our Employee of the Year for 2002 was fired several months later. They no longer give out employee of the year or quarter awards.

Such awards are often political anyway, and have little relation to job performance.

the year before last, when I was working at ALL AUTO PARTS, they said that if we raised saled from $350,000 a month to $400,000 a month we would be looking at a nice christmas bonus. Well, we got sales up to $400,000-$450,000 a month and when christmas time came, our bonus was, " You are luck you have jobs".
