Every now and then someone gets an award that they actually deserve, but as with anything at the Shitshow the execution is a complete joke. Set back and enjoy a story sent in from a dedicated rock thrower.
Despite working at the Shitshow, I still take pride in my work. Often times this means putting in long hours to finish time-sensitive issues. Not too long ago I put in about a months work of really long hours and hard work to complete a task.
Weeks later, one of my peers told me congratulations. I asked what for and he informed me that I had won an award for my hard work over the last month, he told me that it was hanging in the hall where all the flunky program managers sit.
I thought this was weird since I never received an email and no one from program management informed me of the award but my coworker swore he saw it hanging in the programmer manager hall. Unfortunately the program office is on the other side of the campus and takes 20 minutes to walk or drive by the time you find a parking spot.
I didn’t make it over the program office for another week, by that time all of the awards that used to hang in the program office wall of fame, were taken down. I asked the office assistant where the awards and as I should of expected she had no idea.
To this day, the only person that has verified that I received this award is my coworker. None of the multiple program managers ever mentioned anything and when I asked my flunktional manager he just looked at me with a blank stare on his face.
Because awards disappear faster than wooden spoons and mac’n’cheese, I throw rocks.
