As a Super of a small group of employees, building solid relationship is key IMO

..Because if you don't click as a team, it usually translates to less morale, dedication, productivity and profit. Therefore, I like to surprise them every now and then with treats. It doesn't have to be expensive or elaborate...bu t enough to show my people that I'm thinking of them and appreciate their good work ethics and talents  :

That’s great and I totally agree.

Yes sir!

Sometimes, I'll even make them simple breakfast that doesn't take a lot of time because you know what they say: "breakfast is the most important meal of the day".. :

Previous Employer-

1. Felt like I couldn't sneeze without asking the CEO/Owner (small office so I worked with him directly on many occasions).
2. It took only 1 coworker to bring down the morale of the entire office. We "celebrated" the days she was out of the office.
3. 3 years, no raise, I took it in stride because we expanded the moment I was hired.
4. Burned me out to the point I left the company on the upswing.

Current Employer-

1. The office parties are awesome.
2. Booze at the office is a regular thing (I'm a social drinker only).
3. Vendor and company merch.
4. Random midweek half days for lunch, bar hopping and other shenanigans.
5. Thursday-Friday golf outings (Picked up golfing as a result).
6. Morale is through the roof.
7. The manager nurtures and encourages growth.
8. Amazing corporate support.

Amazing how much difference it makes when you feel appreciated.

Sounds like a great place to work lexicon.

Is it time to look for a new job anonymouse? Lol

Morale is definitely low where I work but I like my job. Before my time they’ve been dealing with crappy managements and I can see why now that I have been there for a year. Management are too busy with wearing multiple hats and so are the employees, you get the picture.

damn. that handwriting.. superb!

Can't take credit for it as it's my wife that did the labeling..

I ate too many chicken feet when I was a kid so my penmanship is not that good..
