About Praise and Appreciation

Apparently some managers and supervisors feel it is incredibly tiresome having to give employees congratulations for doing a job very well.

What's wrong with giving employees constant praise and positive feedback?
Lavish constant praise and rewards__
-I am an excellent worker.  I am a very fast learner...  I do not need to be const babysat to make sure I stay on task.  I can work with minimal supervision.  (As matter of fact, put resume qualities here)))

The only people that maintain that hard work is its own reward are those that don’t know how to say "Thank you."  Ungrateful a-holes that don’t want to show any gratitude, any appreciation for a job well done.  I fervently believe that if someone does an excellent job and does it consistently for a while, they have earned the right to be praised.  They should be showered with lavish praise and rewards.  Why the hell not?  What is this ludicrous attitude that we should not reward good work that generates good results?  That is crazy.  People should be rewarded for doing a good job.

We have all heard managers complain about employees that need to be constantly praised.  Well, if the employee constantly does good work, then what's the problem?  The employee has earned it.

Now, if there is a lazy employee who sits on its ass, and expects lavish praise the one time in a blue moon that they get off their ass and do work -- that is a different story.  I can understand simply firing that person and replacing it with someone who actually delivers results.

But I do good work and I expect to get recognized for it.
