Okay? But we don't. If he's different in person, great. Many people act differently online. He's not the only one to come off as a dick but is perfectly nice IRL. Doesn't change the fact that people come off as dicks.

Record breaking years the last couple years and I'm expecting most employees to cap out at a $20 gift card, and an invite to the dish to pass Christmas party. I'll get my nice year end incentives for hitting my own goals but id qualify as the exception there

I suggested a reward of lunch for the highest achieving department quarterly instead of just an email saying good work and was told that drew brees doesn't need a car for every Td he throws to be motivated to win the super bowl. It was an odd response.

Maybe I'm not familiar with the term "tool", but he has never listed anything on here or any other board that I couldn't testify the validity of.

I would have responded with something to the effect of "Drew Brees makes millions and doesn't need incentive bonuses. I do."

That still doesn't make any of it make him sound like less of a douche. There is a thing called tact and he lacks it.

They are the worst. It is almost insulting. Just throw a hospital party or something. Received turkeys which were probably $2-4 at the time. $25 gift cards. Cheap assed pens. This year was possibly the cheapest camping chair that has ever been constructed. It is perfect for my 37 pound four year old, but it is intended for adults. Hospitals.

I guess that means "tool"?

Smack is very straightforward, some people take that as being brash and offensive. Or being a "tool" as y'all say.

You can quit taking up for him because I am not going to keep bashing the dude all day but I don't take any of it as him simply just being straightforward.

Wait... You fire people for taking their vacation?


Nope. For abusing sick days. And we're liberal with those. And it is amazing how illness spikes on Fridays.

Work for a publicly traded engineering firm. LOL at any kind of bonus. As one of my bosses said "your bonus comes every two weeks"... A biweekly paycheck

Sometimes I am just being a dick, and I don't give two shits about my online persona.

I agree.
But sounding like a douche and having no tact is your specialty. So, I'll take that as a compliment.

That's all we were trying to say.

And you should just put vacation and sick days together. People want to take off Friday? Fine. It comes from the same pool. I just don't think sick days should be tied to a bonus. You punish the legit employees when they have a real hardship and have done everything to deserve a bonus.
