[QUOTE="whatwasithinking, post: 967352, member: 34002"] And I thought it was just [I]our[/I] division manager that sent this to only our division....guess I was wrong. This would be great if I had to have someone get on my back and do a bear crawl, I could make it. But our job isn't a football game and in my experience, anytime we get close to the goal line, the goal line gets moved. That's why every year we have to get better. I can't wait to see the next Usain Bolt run the hundred meters in less than 8 seconds, but every year we have to improve. It is amazing the true lack of motivation I have after just seeing my increase. Right about 2.25% and the other sups that I work closely with got just about the same, but no more. How fricking exciting!! It continues to baffle me how div mgr level and above expect any sup to be (and stay) motivated. The thing that baffles me even more is their ability to convince themselves that our stock will one day pay off for a young supervisor. I sat through reportback not long ago and had to listen as a few mgrs told us to just hold on to it, it will pay off. I am not a math major, but simple math tells me that at a rate of approximately 50-100 shares a year, I ain't getting too rich [I]anytime[/I] in the future!!! I could be wrong, but I see no way to acquire shares like people did years before me. Anyhow, I will show up to work Monday and count down the days until the next Friday and get excited for the weekend. Tough way to go through ones working career, but that is how it is for me and my fellow full time sups in my building. I truly wish I felt differently, but I think my feelings are becoming the rule, not the exception. [/QUOTE]
