kamikaze

This is a direct quote from the announcement of the employee of the year, except for the elimination of the name:

"Like the others selected for this award, (person)'s superb "throw me into the fire" attitude helped distinguish him among his peers."

This really really bugs me. Do they seriously want to encourage a "throw me into the fire" attitude?? ("well done" in more ways than one!). I mean, if it said "Gotta put out the fire!" attitude, that would seem at least semi-praiseworthy, but "throw me into the fire"? Just what is _that_ supposed to accomplish?

They need an editor

Looks like your workplace needs someone whose English grammar and usage is not atrocious. I still remember the "institutionalized" comment. Perhaps they can splurge on a proofreader so they don't come out looking like complete twits.
