comment Out of Scope Supervisory Duties
It is possible the boss is giving the OP this responsibility to see how s/he handles managing them, before making her/him their manager. It all depends on the approach, and her/his trust in the boss. It may be a delicate situation (fall guy setup), or it might not be. Depends on how well the OP and boss communicate.

comment Is there an effective personal strategy or methodology to stop bringing work issues home?
@pdr, no, the kids will fill all of your non-work time, and nag you to pay attention to them. Thus, no time for at-home obsession with at-work. Or so my friends with kids tell me.

comment Is highlighting top performers a good idea?
Your first example has been the situation that I have seen with lots of these kinds of awards. It's all in the implementation. In my experience, the criteria for the awards was the personal discretion of the upper management, and therefore, only the people who worked directly with them received the awards, unless there was a rare occurrence where a high powered individual suggested someone else.
