You know what’s depressing?
Here’s what:
A team I was on won an award recently. We each got a certificate that the bosses had really nicely matted and framed for us. Mine had been sitting in its box since I got it, but we’ve got this open house thing tomorrow, so I thought I’d put it up.
It is physically impossible to hang it in my cubicle. It is too heavy and the cube walls are too thin to support it.
It’s the “Improving Our Workplace Award” (IOWA). Apparently nobody did an award-winning project to make good cube walls.
