What a load of (censored)

We all just got an email from one of the Operations Managers, to bring us up to speed on some great new incentive they've come up with for us.

Basically, if we hit 85% on our external monitoring (for which the criteria is quite strict) we could be in with the chance of winning £12,000!

How, I hear you gasp in wonder?

They'll give each qualifying staff member a £1 National Lottery scratch card.



....yeah.

wow worst incentive ever

Scary thing is, they probably figure it's a good ROI and thus a good idea.

(My company offers money or AmEx gift cards or occasionally reference books. Works pretty well.)

In fairness, they are normally very generous; for example, if you get good feedback from a customer, you automatically get a bottle of wine from one of the other Ops managers, and there's other things too. We're going bowling at the end of the month with the team's incentive fund and, since we've saved it for the last couple of months, we'll probably be able to get a meal out of it too.

It's just....she was sooo enthusiastic in her email (she's uber-chirpy, this one) and the actual 'prize' was so crap, it triggered my snark-gene. :-)
