Today, for the second time in 5 months, I was recognized for my hard work, sincerity, and all the adjectives that they use to describe good employees. What was my reward? A piece of chocolate. FML
You ungreatful bastard! How dare you not be happy for getting a piece of choclate! That was sarcasm. But on a serious note, you've only been there for 5 months. I'm not understanding how you thought you'd get something special
and a continued paycheck. they were patting you on the back, and that's all. I really don't understand the disappointment... what were you expecting to get?
Be grateful.
exactly. recognition is your reward. let your work go unnoticed and see if you are still ungrateful.
