I always wondered how bragging about how long you worked was considered by some as a good thing.

Somebody invented "Employee of the Month" and our competitive habits took over.

I never thought about this before, but if I worked somewhere and they gave me an 'employee of the month' award, it would piss me off because it would make me feel like I was being a kissass somehow.
