EnplugEmails are a series on my blog of actual emails sent to my teammates at Enplug. I’m sharing these because it may give other startup founders ideas.
Before the end of each year, everyone at Enplug nominates and votes for one another for the Enplug Awards. We started this award game the first year that we started the company and it’s been a fun tradition ever since. It’s a reflection of our culture to always keep things entertaining! The awards this year ranged from “Most likely to have 10 kids” to “Most likely to give you a ride home from jail.” Here’s the email I sent out:
