Just two short days ago, SUSE announced that it had, in effect, won an award for Brother-in-law of the year from a company that is, essentially, their Brother-in-law .

These sort of pointless awards are not exactly uncommon in the Tech industry.
Whenever I see them, I get a little chuckle. For they are oh-so-utterly ridiculous.

Today, just two days after I had a good laugh at their expense , SUSE is back with an award that is somehow even more ridiculous . Check it out.

This first tweet, talks about a Women in IT award that SUSE sponsored.

Read: SUSE paid money to the Women in IT Awards . Who is that, you ask? Women in IT Awards is a part of Bonhill Group plc . Bonhill Group is an information, data and events company specialising in the technology, finance and diversity sectors.

Ok. So weve established that SUSE paid Women in IT Awards / Bonhill. We
know this because SUSE and Women in IT proudly tweeted it out.

A few minutes later, they send out this Tweet where they proclaim the CEO of SUSE to be the Woman of the Year of the Women in IT Awards.

SUSE, the company that made a name for itself with Linux, literally bought an award for their CEO so that she could be Woman of the Year .

And, in case you were wondering, the CEO of SUSE (Mel really likes it when folks Tweet out congratulations for the honor.

Note: To all the SUSE employees out there. Now would be a great time to get in good with the boss. I recommend tweeting: Congratulations @mididonato1 on this honor! You sure do deserve it! The company definitely didnt buy it for you!

This is right up there with giving your boss a Worlds Best Boss coffee cup. Except, in this case, the boss paid for it.

And picked out the cup.

and then Retweeted every employee who congratulated the boss on the amazing and unprecedented honor.

Am I picking on SUSE for being ridiculous here?

Yes.

Yes, I am.
