To sound one’s own trumpet

Ugh.  Corporate culture around here is such that people forward any kudos they get from their clients to their supervisor and then the supervisor replies to all co-workers so we all know how good so-and-so is.  In reality so-and-so handles only one client and one project at a time so it’s not really hard to keep one client happy while surfing facebook and going for coffee half the day.

Besides, if the client wanted your management and co-workers to know how great you were wouldnt they have sent the email to them themselves?  I get emails like this from my clients (note the ‘s’) but I don’t send them on to manglement.  Should I?

UPDATE: Ugh, the email thread has now devolved to a pile of “We all know how awesome you are…” replies from co-workers.  Seriously, that is a direct quote.  What r-tards I work with.
