chickey

A top-down, mass distributed ass hickey, from a company's C-suite, to publicly praise or acknowledge one or more people. While not as fluffy as a typical mass hickey from the trenches up to the C-suite, it remains an effective, but potentially uncomfortable motivational tool. Often used in an email with multiple cc's, a chickey often includes a blatant reference to the chicky to warn those who might attempt to ridicule the sender. As with a mass hickey, a chickey makes all recipients feel good for the person(s) praised, yet at the same time they feel somewhat violated.
