I heard that word got back to my boss about how disgruntled I was last week.
Today I saw him for the first time since my meltdown (we don't actually work in the same building, which is part of the problem sometimes.)
He said "I have something for you."
My company has lots of little award programs...cash, gift cards from Starbucks, that kind of thing, to use as small bonuses for when somebody does something particularly well, or when you need to massage an ego or soothe a hurt feeling.
I'm thinking, finally, here's my coffee.
"I need a piece of paper," says my boss. He writes and hands it back.
It's not a dollar amount of a bonus.
It's a wine recommendation.
I got a BOTTLE of wine from a coworker last week. Perhaps you need to be MORE disgruntled.
