[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of you have received thank you certificates for participating in some kind of task force at work?  Or a pilot program.  How is this different?

No, really, how is it different?[/quote]

Anything like that that I have received a special thank you for in the workforce was truly earned, and required going far over and above the stated parameters of my job.[/quote]

I am a project manager and i send an email to everybody's supervisor at the end of the project detailing how they did, sometime it is over and beyond, sometime not. It is a best practice. [/quote]

Exactly. But did you also line them all up, give them a cookies and juice party and a plastic trophy from China, and gush over how wonderful they are because they simply took part in your project? [/quote]

UM! Of course. We celebrate major milestones, we have bagels and Krispy Kreme donuts. We share success and failures, aka lesson's learned. We go to happy hour and drink our failures away sometimes and give each other encouragement. We celebrate birthdays, births of children, weddings. we bring sick coworkers soup and cover for them if we need to and still give them awards.

We give out monster and 5 hour energy award for pulling all nighters. (cheaper than trophies and they usually just get thrown away since those things are disgusting.)

Yes. We live an a society of people that we care about even if it is in the workplace.

Where do you work? Amazon.  :mrgreen: [/quote]
