Sketchy Behavior in Team Contest

Hello Fellow Sales Savages,

I'd appreciate your perspective on this sales content that went awry at the last minute.

In short, we were getting comped a bonus for the individual who has the most meetings kick off from May to June that centered around specific topics that our sales org identified to help generate more revenue. 1st place got $900, 2nd got $600.

I was in first place by a solid 10-12 meetings come the final day of the contest. Then slowly but surely I see my coworker start creeping up the leaderboards.

Turns out my coworker banked a bunch of meetings and waited until the final hour to load them into salesforce and added EXACTLY 1 more than me, continuously editing the meetings and adding to the meeting count until 9PM+ that night.

All this while they were officially on PTO for the last two days of the contest.

Now fellow Sales Savages.

Should I cry foul and show proof that they were working in Salesforce while allegedly on PTO

or just take it in the teeth and move on, take the $600, and continue grinding?

Appreciate your input and advice.
