Years ago I was recognized and received a corporate award. The award was awesome and all but I think what I liked more was how the new store manager appeared to be so "jealous" that the big bosses knew my name and would go out of their way to say hello to me during store walks. It made me laugh... Maybe the store manager needed some water because she seemed thirsty?

Ha it's funny how that pettiness never really goes away, as much as you'd think it'd be left behind in high school. Some people just can't help it, and it sounds like that manager was one of them. Good for you for getting the award, that's pretty cool!

It's striking how in every organization there's always someone who's dying for recognition and just not getting it. Sometimes I think the upper management people just identify the people who are natural teacher's pets and purposely ignore them. At times it's like we've never left middle school.

I am so proud when employees on the team get recognized. I know people like that exist out there, but it is always so crazy to me. Somebody else being lifted up does not put you down.

That’s priceless! Sometimes the recognition feels even sweeter when you see the reaction it sparks. Sounds like you definitely made an impression!
