I always tell those who report to me that capitalism is a disease and I want them to do what they think is best for any situation. I support their goals, listen to their needs, appreciate any personal information they share with me or get seriously real with their feelings about their role or upper upper management.
I’m pretty sure, as a Gen-Xer, I carry feelings of wanting more for my employees than I was provided as I rose through the ranks (calling Dr. Freud…) but I appreciate each one of them as humans just trying to survive this madness.
That said, I was given zero dollars to do anything for them and feel like a public school teacher who’ll dig into their own pocket (I heart all teachers trying to make a difference out there) but I also feel so guilty that I should do something for them even if they feel like work is work. It is but I’d like to show my appreciation for their labor.
Any suggestions of something inexpensive I could send them but would communicate the right message?
Yes, it’s December 24th, and ya boi suffers horribly from anxiety and ADHD and I’ve been wrestling with this mentally for weeks now and just had to ask.
