Just got an email from a colleague congratulating me on my Quarterly Awards nomination at work.. HR have put my name as the nominee when I was the one nominated my teammate :(
Now everybody who would have seen the bulletin would think I did something cool. I've sent an email to HR to fix it but nobody is going back to check updates to a bulletin. For absolute fucks sake. I know both of our names start with B (I'm Brad, he's Ben) but that's about whether the similarities end!
That's hilarious ๐ if you win and have to do an acceptance speech or something, you should 100% say that you nominated yourself by accident, tried to fix it, couldn't, and then hand the gift over to Ben
I would pay 10,000 dollars to NOT get an award at work. They call it out in front of EVERYONE, they make you do a little speech. I hate it.
