Broken: "Employee of the Month" initiative
Todd Everett submits a picture taken at a hotel in Michigan:
I took this picture of chairs that were being stored on the reserved parking space for the "employee of the month" while I was staying at a hotel.
(My friend manages the hotel so I won't provide the name of the hotel to protect his privacy).
Maybe the Employee of the Month program isn't running, or there just isn't one this month, or the program stopped but they didn't take down the sign?
Or for whatever reason, the employee of the month isn't using it, or there is no employee of the month, so they're using it for temporary storage.
The whole "employee of the month" idea is broken to begin with, so these chairs are probably more of a fix than a problem.
I'd have to agree along the lines with Infinity, maybe the "employee of the month" is a real jerk and this is the way the other staff used to get back at him!
This gives great incentive to be employee of the month! You get to park in the corner spot where you get maybe the least amount of dings on your car, but you have to remove the chairs first to park your car, then replace them when you leave. Do this every day of the month and by golly, you deserve it!
"Clearly the surplus chairs and tables are more valuable than any of their employees."
Yeah, I've worked for companies like that...
If it was a prank, it's a pretty good one.
