But how about you? In your job, have you ever put out way more than your customers (or your boss) expected? Did you get a little something extra in your pay, or a good tip, for the effort, or did you just get a "Thanks, great effort -- now get back to work" for your reward? Which situation would motivate you more?
I'm well known for always putting in more than is expected.
And no, I have never been initially rewarded for it. Its a long term thing. If things are looking down I don't have to worry about my Job security. Almost everyone on site knows me from the directors to the farm staff (quite a diverse company) and wouldn't have a bad word to say! Not to mention I am continually getting offers from other companies.
I show loyalty to the company, they show loyalty to me.
But this isn't a case of a company on the verge of bankruptcy and the workers volunteering to prop it up.
Somethings gone seriously wrong. You should pay slush's dedication back with your own! Coming back to your customer comparison, if a supplier has always gone out of their way to help you, when they have a problem you don't throw money at them.
Instead you take the inconvenience on the chin, work round their issues and stick with them.
My issue isn't with those that want to tip, feel free. I just took a little aback at the indirect suggestion it is owed!
Especially because the sorts of people that view loyalty as financial are generally really quite selfish. The sorts that had the pool been down for a few days would have jumped ship to another pool. Not saying that about anyone here directly, just as a rule of thumb you tend to find those traits.
