Recognition is hard to come by in the workplace. Let go of the guilt and reservations and give yourself a pat on the back. Way to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nominated-for-a-work-award-wwyd#post-2724423 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 13:42:46 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2724423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: Awesome!

I'm very thankful. I feel a bit bad though, 4 other people were nominated and 2 of them submitted applications. I don't *know* who they were, but I have a feeling, and they are fabulous teachers too. However, they are both leaving my school next year, and I am staying, so I think in terms of future jobs and job searches, this helps. Anyway.... thanks for the encouragement! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nominated-for-a-work-award-wwyd#post-2708133 Thu, 09 Mar 2017 20:15:13 +0000 JerricaBenton 2708133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd struggle with this like you, but ultimately I think you have to do it. I think it would reflect badly on you if you didn't, no matter the reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nominated-for-a-work-award-wwyd#post-2708032 Thu, 09 Mar 2017 16:43:21 +0000 808love 2708032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nominated someone for an award at work (which they are automatically sent up as one of many 'winners' without any work on their part) and he didn't go to the awards conference. In his defense, I think he misunderstood the email that was sent. I was a bit disappointed as a nominator though as I only had one person to nominate and it was 'wasted'. I also think it is good form to acknowledge the person who nominated you, whether you do it or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nominated-for-a-work-award-wwyd#post-2707994 Thu, 09 Mar 2017 15:31:31 +0000 snowjewelz 2707994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you should do it out of respect for the person that nominated you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nominated-for-a-work-award-wwyd#post-2707941 Thu, 09 Mar 2017 14:20:57 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2707941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Know your value...go for that award! Take the recognition when it's offered to you. I know that it's extra work, but I feel like as women, we don't get as many chances as men to showcase our talents in the workforce. Do it and knock it out of the park! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nominated-for-a-work-award-wwyd#post-2707696 Thu, 09 Mar 2017 07:51:28 +0000 ShootingStar 2707696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow I'm amazed at the responses. I would've been a hard pass, lol. Doing tons of extra work on your own time, for an award with no money, at a job you plan to leave, in an industry where you can easily find works seems pointless to me. But then I'm lazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nominated-for-a-work-award-wwyd#post-2707547 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 16:15:57 +0000 PawPrints 2707547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely do it. I firmly believe that there are times in life we don't get what we deserve (in a bad way) so it's up to us to take advantage if there are changes to grab something at times when we may not feel like we earned it as much. Think of it as payoff for the times you were not recognized when you should have been. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nominated-for-a-work-award-wwyd#post-2707527 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 15:36:11 +0000 Corduroy 2707527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do it. What if you stepped down and the person you thought was more deserving didn't get it anyway? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nominated-for-a-work-award-wwyd#post-2707497 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 14:42:25 +0000 808love 2707497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do it if I needed it on my resume. Also now that the other person is out, even more reason. The person who nominated you probably wants you to win! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nominated-for-a-work-award-wwyd#post-2707491 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 14:23:20 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2707491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: sounds like the universe is telling you something!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nominated-for-a-work-award-wwyd#post-2707473 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 14:05:32 +0000 kodybear 2707473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>honestly, even though your intentions are good, if you stepped down and gave the reason that you don't think you deserve it, it kind of rubs me the wrong way. similar to what Katherine Heigl did when she withdrew her name from an Emmy nomination. i think it just comes off as you thinking the person who nominated you is wrong or the system is wrong. </p> <p>if your reason for not completing it was that you couldn't finish the application in time though then i think thats valid. hah i'm not sure why it feels different. i might be the odd man out though. :-)</p> <p>ETA I would def do it though. It sounds like a great honor that's hard to come by. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nominated-for-a-work-award-wwyd#post-2707464 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 13:54:49 +0000 littlejoy 2707464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: I was going to say skip it, but your response totally hit me in the heart. You are so right!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nominated-for-a-work-award-wwyd#post-2707439 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 13:32:15 +0000 DesertDreams88 2707439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: @mrsbubbletea: I plan on job hunting in a year, so that's a ways off. I anticipate little to no difficulties *knock on wood* because there is a big shortage in my field and I have an excellent history and many references. </p> <p>I think you all have convinced me to try for it anyways. I have a great record years 2-5, but years 6 &amp; 7 were marked by pregnancy and infant life so my career was on the backburner. It's year 7 currently and it would be good to add something to the resume for this year.</p> <p>Also I just learned the other person I nominated doesn't qualify now because he got a new job for next year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nominated-for-a-work-award-wwyd#post-2707434 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 13:26:52 +0000 kiddosc 2707434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that you should complete the application, especially if you plan on job hunting soon. </p> <p>However, I also think it's a bit of a ridiculous process. Someone else nominated you, there's no reward attached the award, and they expect you to complete a lengthy application to even be eligible? I would also be unmotivated to move forward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nominated-for-a-work-award-wwyd#post-2707430 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 13:10:37 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2707430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clearly someone else thought you were just as deserving as the person you nominated. Go for it! Going through the process will show the committee and your manager that you are engaged in your work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nominated-for-a-work-award-wwyd#post-2707428 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 13:07:21 +0000 Jennibenni 2707428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: That makes sense, I still think it reflects better on you to complete the application than not. </p>
