Well isn't this a pat on the head

I received an email this morning from the Sales Department. Apparently, team members will be sharing their success stories at the Global Sales Meeting next week. Since I was "instrumental in helping close these sales ... they would like share the role you played in their success." They'll take my picture tomorrow afternoon and flash it up on the screen during the meeting.

Wow. This is so awesome. Beats a bonus, a raise, or a promotion by a loooong shot.

Grrr. Arrgh! Jerks.

Yeah, the picture is a nice gesture (really, it is nice that they recognize our efforts) but all in all, just show me the money. Gift certificates, cash, I have no preference.

[wafflelips.livejournal.com]

Yeah, recognition becomes more and more meaningless w/o compensation.

True dat.

I often get similar pats on the head. It's like, Hey. Can you say b o n u s? I guess it's at least nice to be acknowledged...

Did I mention that the Global Sales Meeting is at a fancy resort in Florida?

Fancy resort in Florida, eh? Hmm... I hear there are some alligators in Florida. One can always hope, right?

Crossing my fingers...

what you said

So I take it your picture is flying to Florida while you shiver in S. California. Oh that's right I'm shivering in Ohio. To the point, add this to the resume. If they won't pay you, someone will.


HEY NO SPELLING ERRORS!!! my first time!

*giggle* I wasn't jealous over the weather, just the fact that they'd be in a resort while I was at work. That's all. I'm not so spoiled that I forget how lovely the winters are in SoCal.

Yeah, adding to the resume. And beginning to aggressively look. There are changes happening that I do not believe in, and which I think will be detrimental to the advancement of my career.

Yay! Congratulations!!! You rock!

I know. I could tell by your "mood" and the fact that it doesn't beat a bonus or promotion unless you have a billion dollars and don't care about money and are just doing the job for the fame and glory.

Hey, I rock even more because I got a keychain for all of my hard work on a big project. A keychain. So yay! I rock too!

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I wish I could get a keychain! Nifty!

[spacey-lee.livejournal.com]

You have to be as brilliant and hardworking as me to get a keychain. It's all about status, baby.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Wow. Maybe someday after I get my photo taken, I can get a keychain. But what on earth would I have to do to deserve such an honor?
