There are so many awards for so many things that awards themselves have become all-but-meaningless.
One of the more ever-present of our modern-day awards-onslaught is called, “The Best Companies to Work For.” Most companies in today’s “Gilded Age Economy 2.0” offer little in terms of wages and even less when it comes to job security.
It’s hard to think of them as “best.”
But since we live in an age where everyone deserves a trophy, and everyone is willing to pay to get one, Ad Aged created its own award: “The Best 1,000,000,000 Companies to Work For.”
Here are some verbatims from some recent winners.
“Since 2017, floggings have decreased a whopping 3%. My scabs are finally clearing up.”
“We’re down to nine emails a week threatening us for being late on our timesheets. Management really cares!”
“Four out of 10 days wireless is working--and it’s free!”
“Four out of 10 days wireless is working--and it’s free!”

“Most people get raises nearly every decade. Who could ask for more?”
“Constant belittling has really helped me grow.”
“Everyone is really close here. Really close. The guy who sits next to me is only nine-inches away.”
