[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4080053, member: 76548"] That's for friggin' sure, and the meager glimpses of appreciation they used to show us have slowly been phased out totally over the years. Remember the gift cards of increasing worth we used to get for working safe - gone. The barbecues and pizzas and whatnot - gone. Hot soup waiting at the building after working in a blizzard or the below zero windchill days - not too often these days. Maybe once or twice this past winter. Turkeys for the holidays - not in the budget these days. (the record profits apparently just aren't high enough to afford it) A simple thing like pulling you aside to thank you for a job well done when you're buried in the red but still kill it that day, on a day you save their ass for whatever reason - covering in a different center or going out on the blind perhaps, or for just going above and beyond for them or our customers - I think it's happened maybe 3 times in 17 years, and that could not be an easier thing to do, and it actually does go a long way. I still remember every single time they've done it. [/QUOTE]
