I'm wondering which of the submissions for excellence were chosen to have the $25K implementation. My guess is it's all BS and the winners will basically be operational things that we already do. Still, would anyone be willing to share what their submission was? And if it was "upgraded phone system so every employee can call every absent student every day" just be glad that this forum is anonymous!

The winner in the saving cash category is everyone including students must bring their own toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Do not bring soap because the runner up idea was having the water cut off.
It is SOS
My bet is that these will be incredibly lame, childish ideas. This whole thing is supposed to improve the morale of the little people, so we'll continue to tolerate abusive working conditions and keep quiet about ethical issues for just a few months longer. The problem is, we have the same "leadership" as before, and you just know they chose the winning ideas ("Oh, trust us, Dave, we know our little folks!"). So it's going to be more of the same juvenile nonsense that they always throw at us, like we're excitable monkeys who have lived our entire lives in concrete cells. Maybe one of the innovations will be churros for workers instead of ice cream, or empanadas instead of pizza (I think I'm craving Mexican today). I anticipate at least one will involve us calling students, even if it has nothing to do with our job.
I just pray that someone came up with something better than SOS. How ECMC was impressed with that old chestnut is beyond me.
Mine did! Mine did! I simply wrote "extra bonuses for executives will have a trickle down effect in increased productivity" and 1% of the $25K trickled down to me as a reward!!! I've also had a few pats on the back from thankful execs, so I won't be in the next round of RIFs, suckas! You gotta know how to play the game.
768 -- you actually called them "dumbasses" in the submission? Just sayin'...
My Campaign for Innovation submission was: "Instead of laying off needed people, use the stupid foundation money to keep on staff instead of wasting it on more ridiculous attempts to make this pig look like a chorus girl. Let's just keep the pig alive, dumbasses." Surprisingly, it wasn't selected.
