It is probably more respectful to give nothing at all, rather than to hand some of your most valuable employees a trinket that says, I treasure you as much as a jug of orange juice, a bunch of bananas and a packet of taco mix. So with that said, I hope that you are encouraged along with us, to appreciate the people who deserve it in 2019, as I am sure they will want to know that they are more valued than a jug of orange juice, a bunch of bananas and a packet of taco mix.

"No Really, We Appreciate You"
Imagine working for a company for nearly 30 years! That's right 30, and you have never shown up late, never been written up, you've received multiple employee awards, multiple customer service awards, you have made the company significant money, you have protected their brand, you have looked out for their best interest, you have rarely ever called in sick and in fact - it has been less than a total of five times in the near 30 years! Your coworkers can count on you, your boss appreciates you, you have given your heart and soul to what you believed was "purpose".
Imagine you took a chance on this company when it had nothing and it was nothing, and you, plus a few others committed to the founders, that if they took the chance "together you would make it something" and soon. that first small group of people did make it something. You contributed everything, and now through all its highs and lows that company has been #1 in its industry, year after year beginning with that small group. You and your fellow coworkers still left from those first days feel proud, and you should feel proud, it has been a remarkable adventure.
Now imagine, its Christmas and to thank you all for everything you have done, you receive a $15 grocery certificate. Yes, that is correct, it is equivalent to enough cash for buying a jug of orange juice, a bunch of bananas and some taco mix. Hey but don't be upset, at least they smile when they say "no really, we appreciate you".
The sad thing is. this story is real life and true. The is what prompted me to even write this article. How in the world is it that companies often miss the mark in showing appreciation? It is probably more respectful to give nothing at all, rather than to hand some of your most valuable employees a trinket that says, "I treasure you as much as a jug of orange juice, a bunch of bananas and a packet of taco mix". Really?? Gee, thanks. You know, I can't help but to think of Clark Griswold in the Christmas Vacation movie, where the CEO sent him an annual subscription to the jelly club as a Christmas bonus. It was comedic absurdity then and it still is now except this is real life.
Perhaps this poor fellow will find the silver lining in the matter as one where he can say "at least I received a pay check and that is all I can expect" but is that really what we want from our employees? I sure don't, and I will tell you why: because that is not what makes a company #1 in its industry. If we want to be #1, and remain #1 we must appreciate the people who took us to the top, and continue to do so with their dedication.
So with that said, I hope that you are encouraged along with us, to appreciate the people who deserve it in 2019, as I am sure they will want to know that they are more valued than a jug of orange juice, a bunch of bananas and a packet of taco mix.
