The giving out of awards to people, businesses and services for just doing what the are suppose to be doing.
The link in this nom is a prime example of the school sports day concept whereby everyone gets a medal for just taking part so they don’t feel a bit upset or inadequate. This has now manifested itself into the workplace, presumably because those kids who all got medals at school are now running stuff in the real world.
Now forgive me, but surely isn’t the most BASIC standard of service you should expect from the medical profession is “high-quality care” I mean, no one looks at Trustpilot before going into hospital for an operation and thinks ‘hmmm, my hospitals only rated a 3 star, but I will take a chance and rate it myself should I actually survive this operation’ and then in doing so, placing a review stating ‘well, I didn’t expect it looking at the previous reviews, but I ended up with some high quality care’
No one says ‘I’m going to this hospital because I really want some really shit, low standard of care‘ of course not, but in this country now, you get awards for doing what you should be doing, and those that aren’t providing high quality care aren’t investigated as to why not.
