Tied Down
Awards.... I was given the "Most Flights of the Year" award from a company, then they fired me a month later....
LOL. I suppose since it was the 90s I can mention vaguely that I was dragged into a management meeting once where an employee was about to receive an customer appreciation award the week their bosses were going to terminate him.
Not my staff member and none of my staff even qualified to compete for that award anyway. Never should have been invited and I made it pretty clear I shouldn't be there that day, too.
Helped that they'd pretended it was all hush-hush and I had to drive across town to HQ in lunchtime stop and go traffic from our other location and missed lunch completely because of it. I was mildly miffed before the meeting even started.
Once they told us why we were there, three of us middle managers stated that the topic of the meeting was truly none of our business, and we'd be going back to work if they didn't have anything else for us. We went to lunch across the street and called it a day.
