"Mike" wrote in message ... 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!!) You sound like a smashing boss to have worked for, if only there were more like you around! Sir John Harvey-Jones certainly had the right idea too! 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 :-)) Mike He sure will, and knowing my fella, he'll buy them a regular pint or three (after work's done for the day of course!) too ) Tracey |

You sound like a smashing boss to have worked for, if only there were more like you around! Sir John Harvey-Jones certainly had the right idea too! I had worked for some pretty grim bosses. Mainly in the public sector and Civil Service. I always resolved that I would treat my staff as 'I' would wish to be treated, and it worked. I don't mince my words and in 99.99% of cases, people appreciate it. However, there is always the .01%, but you can always put them in their place :-)) Best wishes and good luck Mike |
