Enter-"prize"? Hardly.

K sent me this link, which amused us both since she used to work there. Well, not "there" as is talked about at this site, but at one of the "group" offices here in Flatland (think branch office, in standard business parlance). The stories she told me made me cringe then, more so now, looking back at the 2+ years she spent there as an Administrative Assistant to one of the supposed head-honchos. He was basically an appellatively-challenged lap-dog to the corporate philosophy. His job, it seemed, revolved around (a) collecting "actionable evidence" against people who weren't making their sales (on which he, and everybody above him, earned a commission, much like some sort of scheme based around a base-heavy triangle structure, if there is such a term for that), (b) grossly rewarding those that made the most money (e.g., lavish monthly outings costing thousands of dollars), and (c) yelling at K if she were a minute or two late. He was a peach.
