Paper Prize

An appealing reward that has no real value and is often nothing more than an incentive to elicit someoneone to perform an undesirable task.

Man, that employee of the month thing is nothing more than a paper prize.

price payer 

A metaphoric phrase that describes a person or organization that endures a plethora of unpleasant experiences, events, or actions involved as a condition of achieving a desired outcome.

The price (cost) is the necessary sacrifice to achieve the desired result.

The payer (person or organization) is responsible for paying (enduring) the necessary sacrifices gracefully.

Coach: Welcome to freshman summer football game!
Player 1: "Thanks coach. What time is the conditioning test?"
Player 2: "Oh, he is prepared to pay the price!"
Player 3: "Yeah or will he become a price payer?"
*Conditioning test ends & Player 1 fails on the last 3 sprints*
Player 3: "Well well well, looks like we have a price payer on our hands...What will it cost?!?!"
Coach: "5am retries of the conditioning test until you pass all the sprints."
Player 4 who fails every summer: "Welcome to the Price Payer squad my friend. We will suffer patiently until we pass this test!"
