Rigged Christmas Office Raffle ?

[jay372011]

My friend from my old job said that the Christmas grandprize in their office is somewhat rigged in favor of regular employees.

Almost always - all winners are those probi employees who are not regular employees and dont usually stay long in their company. So they have 2 raffle tambiolos - 1 for all the minor prizes and the 2nd one is for all the grandprize so that everybody still has a chance to win. But the probi employees and all employees for that matter dont know that the probi employees names are not included in that 2nd tambiolo.

Is this fair or what? I am giving her advice later. What is your take on this? According to her the bosses want to motivate the regular employees more who have stayed loyal and efficient the whole time unlike those probi who left the very next month. Pls advice.

In my opinion i think it is just a white lie and they can announce it that only regular employees are entitled for the grand prize. But on second thought it is the prerogative of the top management to make adjustments on the rules and dont need any "explanations" for this raffle set up.

I don't know why management should even bother meddling in such trivial things as a Christmas raffle. Is the effect on morale so dramatic that this becomes a priority for the leadership? It's just a party, for crying out loud.

Seems to me the leadership of that company isn't very good at what it does. Ang babaw nila. You should all consider looking for alternative employment.

Medyo parang trivial nga po yung issue niya. At any rate i just advised her na duon sa 2nd tambiolo puros regular employees na lang ilagay nila. They dont need to say or explain more. Nobody will question anyway since aalis na din naman yung mga new hirees nila at ang maiiwan yung mga regular.

Medyo big items kasi ang pinaguuspan like TV, Microwave, cash, refrigerator and DVD kaya medyo alam nyo na sa hirap ng buhay.

Kuya Danny thanks for your inputs, ipinabasa ko na sa kanya. Big deal kasi ang Christmas party sa kanila pati location, choice of food, transpo binubusisi ng bonggang bongga:bashful:
