We have a program here at work...we can give or receive "Above and Beyond" coins for jobs well done. At the end of the quarter, the coin is worth...I forget $20 or $40.

I think it's a ridiculous program. People get these friggin coins for doing their job. They give coins a lot for people who work extra  hours.

We used to be able to bank that time and take it off.

Also, being in the software biz, it's just normal to work a lot of extra hours, especially close to a deadline. And when it's quiet, we can take it easy. 

What gets me most is when someone gets a coin for writing a document. I've had to clean up these documents before, and do I get a friggin' coin for it? No! It's more work for me on top of my regular work. And to have techies creating bad documents? Why are we praising bad documentation? Ugh.

I hate that program.
