Dear W2:

Recognition is not bringing in donuts, its personal communication that is witnessed by others so everyone can enjoy the positive vibes.   But, my managers do very little in this regard, and the donuts he brings are pretty bad; they may even be day old.  How can we get the message to him to do better?

BIZPAIN donuts…..that sucks!  I agree with you 100% and question the type of management you have?  Seems as if they are not leaders & motivators?  Personal communication is not easy but a requirement for anyone in a leadership capacity.

Try this on for size…… send your management team an anonymous letter outline your concerns.  Be as specific as you can BUT don’t let them figure out that you wrote it or you’ll be sending me another question from the unemployment line! 

I’m very interested in hearing how it went.  Please write me back and let us all know if they got the message and made any changes.  If not, then you’ll need to find another job!
