Getting peer bonuses for doing things others find funny, amusing, whatever, is not hard.
I once received 12 peer bonus nominations for flaming a noogler acting very entitled on an internal mailing list.
My manager approved the best one, which said something like "Dan is very good at instilling culture into our newer Googlers"
The rest were rejected. While getting one or two peer bonuses for something is generally okay, approving 12 would likely not make sense from a manager perspective when their are other recognition/bonus mechanisms that fit better for that kind of thing.
Well that makes more sense. If the convention is only one per event or time period I can see how this would happen. Pretty interesting program. I like it. Is there a limit to how many one person can give in a given time period or is the limit more on receipt?
Due to abuse, there are now limits. Generally, you can give X a quarter, and you can nominate the same person for a peer bonus only once every X months.
