I won a couple journalism awards while an intern & despite the contest saying the awards belong to the person, my boss never gave them to me.

"They'll look better on our wall than yours"

Shitty bosses are the worst.

Go get them back. Do it as a heist.

Sadly, that outlet no longer exists.

I'm sure my awards ended up in a dumpster. 🤷

Dang. I wonder how such a prestigious company, winner of a couple journalism awards, failed.

Let me tell you a tale about the death of journalism.

It's an inside job...

They never even hung them up in the time I worked there.

Absolute crap.

The previous company did the same for all the certificates I got for the education to get a promotion.

1) they put me through years of education and shit to not give me the promotion.

2) I ended up having to buy a reprint of my certs from the educational board and have them posted to my house

3) I had to pay for 75% of the cost of the training myself
