I know what you are saying, but it doesn't hurt anybody to show a little
appreciation, some positive feedback from the boss, when a job has been
well
done, goes a long way. Just a simple, "Good job done today lads!" would
be
good enough. That's what's been galling my fiance the most with his last
two bosses - they have shown no appreciation whatsoever.


Tracey, I had 2 factories with a staff of 23. My office was in one of them
and whenever someone clocked out/went home, I thanked them. This started
when I was in charge of a department in industry before setting up on my
own. Under NO circumstances, could "I" as an indevidual turn out the work
'by myself'. I needed staff, I recognised the fact and thanked them.
However, some people feel that it is below their dignity to say 'Thank you'
to a subordinate. (and that starts another thing!!)

However, 'IF' and 'WHEN' he does take on staff, (think twice in this day and
age) I hope he will say thank you to them :-))
