  Wow, idiocy at its finest. Why is it often that people in communications fields are the worst at communicating effectively.

  I feel for you!  It annoys me how often my own team misspells my name.  I get company wide...there's over 500 employees, but my team of 16?  No excuse.

  At their departments holiday Christmas party MH won a grab bag in the raffle.  It's contents, among other things was a promotional keychain that had "Imagine your imprint here" and the item # engraved on it. 
  They didn't even use their own company's promotional items, they were all sent in by other companies. That right there is how you show employees you care.

  I misspell your name often too. And yet I have one of those names that always gets misspelled. Wouldn't it have been better to leave the name off the card?

  LOL, at my first job, I got a cheap tote bag for Christmas. It was the thinnest possible material, and made me wish they had just tossed me a quarter instead so I could have paid the parking meter out front for the days when there wasn't enough parking for all employees. Yeah.
