It's the nature of the world now....... like the use of the word 'hero'.... people running around branding people heroes, who just do their job - it's even crept down to the shop floor now with people being given a 'prize' at the end of each month when their achievement was just to turn up and do what they're paid to do....... years ago in the industry, you got a reward for making a good suggestion or for going above and beyond. Not so now, the current corporate culture in most businesses now is that you only need to come in on time and switch the kettle on and you're a 'hero'....
