Tough Talk,
My boss is a great guy and regularly commends people at work for doing a great job or going beyond their typical duties. He means well, but he ignores the people who have really worked hard for the company, but it didn’t result in a sale or other customer satisfaction award. He just rewards the people who get alot of attention, but often just lucked out to begin with. Should I bring this to his attention and risk his displeasure or let him know his “pats on the back” are not boosting morale the way he thinks it is? (Westmoreland, Alabama)
Westy,
You need to immediately tell the boss that his half-assed attempts at recognizing hard work is tearing the office in half and to pull his head out from up his BH and stop being such a dope. If that doesn’t work, hold a “contest” to see who is the most incompetent buffoon and have the award ceremony outside his office, but don’t invite him. Once he realizes he’s the dope and schmuck everyone is talking about, he should get the hint.
