Employee “Awarded” 10 Minute Break As A “Prize”

Additionally, people are sharing their own stories about getting not-so-great “rewards” from their employers, like this bait and switch prize.

“My girlfriend at the time worked with me in the same department, same position. She won employee of the year. Got like $1k of schwag. Two weeks vacation. Crystal statue. Nationwide recognition.

The following year I won it. I was given a $50 check. A hard hat with coupons for fast food joints and a printed certificate, during our local Christmas party while they were announcing raffle prizes.”
