In a business I worked 20 years ago, they gave vouchers for a specific butcher around Christmas, so we could get our turkey and ham for free/cheap.

I don't eat turkey and ham for Christmas, and spent January and February eating meat I did not really want. #fail.

It could have been worse, though, the business manufactured foam, so at least we didn't get free foam :)

I am certain there is a way to pro-rata reward for work accomplished over and above the call of duty, or deadline met early etc. A little more empathy and generosity can go a long way.

Great post Niall & Gareth.

This is brilliant because it's so true... The underlying theme in all these examples is that the company execs and decision makers don't really appreciate or understand the efforts and abilities of their employees. It's not about picking an awkward or inappropriate reward system, it's about all the steps that come before it.
