Sometimes I get tired of being the unsung hero.
Sometimes, acknowledge me and my work out loud.
That's it.
That's the post.
Good evening 🐟 🐠

I hear you, loud and clear. Sometimes all I need is a thank you, good job. How hard is that?

Honestly, how hard is it?!

My last job was brutal for not acknowledging me. In fact, my boss only ever criticized me and told me it was for my “professional development”. I found out after I left that I had been nominated for many recognition awards over the years, but I never received any because your manager has to sign off on them. The job I’m in now is the complete opposite. I’ve been nominated, and received, numerous awards. I really feel the love in this place. Pity it’s just been taken over, so things will more than likely change. Appreciation really goes a long way.

I'm so glad you got to a better place and I hope with all my heart it doesn't change. Sending you my kindest thoughts

I feel you! I make it a point to reach out to other members of the admin support team with notes on how great they are and call out something I saw them do. Everyone deserves to be recognized. I usually don't get it myself, but I actually like the end of the year reviews when people I support can comment on my performance anonymously. That's when I get the call outs and nice thoughts. If only I was able to know who was saying the things ☺️

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA
