[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The linkedin bragging is funniest when you know it is likely an award that the person either nominated themselves for or brown-nosed someone else into nominating them for it (at least that's how a lot of it works in academia. sometimes we may have no nominations for an award unless people self-nominate). Clearly you are not 'humbled' to win the award if you nominated yourself for the award. presumably you nominating yourself (or got your colleague to nominate you) because on some level you feel like you deserve it. so just own it. False humility is strange. [/quote] This is so true. I used to have to pick people for department awards and they are meaningless, and we all knew it. Also people in a field will pick each other over and over--seen this happen in a creative/academic field with awards that did mean something and had monetary compensation. [/quote]
