About this Quote

Demetri Martin's quote is a smart way of pointing out the paradox of the "Employee of the Month" award. On the one hand, the award is meant to recognize and reward a staff member for their effort and devotion. On the other hand, it indicates that all other employees are not as deserving of acknowledgment. This develops a circumstance where a single person is a "winner" while everyone else is a "loser". The quote is a suggestion that while it is necessary to recognize and reward effort, it is also essential to acknowledge the efforts of all workers. It is a suggestion that everyone should be valued and valued for their contributions, despite whether or not they are the "Employee of the Month".
