First Annual WTH ("What The Hell?") Bad Christmas Card Awards
Blogger Peter Darling has launched the First Annual WTH ("What The Hell?") awards at his blog, Business Development.
2nd Prize
The runner-up is an intellectual property partner at a large, very prominent firm in Silicon Valley who sent him a holiday card that he did not sign. Instead, he had his secretary rubber-stamp his name at the bottom. "It wasn't even straight. Nothing conveys sincere wishes for a peaceful, happy holiday season like a Christmas card that looks like an internal California DMV memo," Darling writes.
Grand Prize
Darling received a holiday card from a very large law firm in the Midwest. They didn't sign the card. "But these guys did something extraordinary on top of it. I did a small consulting project for them, and as I sometimes do, because I like to eat, I sent them a bill. Which they just ... ignored. Yup, they just plain stiffed me. And then they sent me a Christmas card."
