Awards after awards and mass hiring, flash is strategy

Everyday someone at CVE is winning a phony award, and is flashing the pages of LinkedIn, and looks like we’re hiring for phony PR like positions in spades. Either - a) we’re like knocking it out of the park more so than any peer because no other company is showing up socials like CVE is, or b) the only people that do any work at the company are the PR and comms types. But oh wait, our shareholder behavior would suggest our peers are doing substantially better than us. Did we forget to tell them about all the awards and hiring??

I started here a year ago after moving around the industry a bit, and I have never seen a company's leadership team indulge in so many variety projects. The narcissism is jarring.

Funny how many managers received awards for doing no actual work.

Not a good idea to do this type of "incentive initiatives". Other people will wonder why, especially if the company is big, it's hard to shine if you are few levels down below. Company needs to conduct "organizational effectiveness" test by checking org chart structure, efficiency in each department. There should not be any manager titles with less than 3 people reporting to manager. Titles also have to be checked each time for reasonability and effectiveness. There should be less VPs, Directors if internal consolidation of work is possible and if they use 3rd party companies to do the work.

One senior manager in IT was nominated and he only started with the company a few months ago. His nomination reads like he only got nominated because he's "diverse"... what a joke!

Sounds like a bunch of jealous a--holes. Maybe put in some effort, do some work and you could get recognized too. But, you would clearly rather sit in your fat a-s eating cheetos while putting down your team mates. Feel better?

Who gets an award for working their a** off while these people get all the glory?

Reading through the list of nominees and the basis for the President's awards is an interesting combination of reasonable submissions with a strong presence of fiction, satire, and even some pure comedy gold.
