The list of permanent hires came out at work. I was not eligible but the silence was deafening. Unlike many of the others I rushed to congradulate two friends who have helped me learn the ropes. I was genuinely happy for them and I was kind to those who did not make it this time . My mentor who is a great guy also was promoted and will be departing soon.
Any sucsess that I have encountered was due to the help of wonderful patient coworkers. There is alot to learn and every day I learn something new. I hope the rest get the spots they wish for.
I wish more people would have been happier for their friends. Yet the natural disappointment and envy is understandable.
When I was a child, my parents taught me to congratulate those who receive recognition, especially if I didn't receive recognition. It's a matter of courtesy and of being bigger than an event, a promotion, or a reward.
ReplyDeleteI have always been glad for people whose accomplishments have earned them recognition or promotion and I will help anyone that asks me.
ReplyDeleteI take a special pride when someone I have helped does well. I have contributed to their accomplishments. I don't expect recognition, I do it because I want to help.
You are an awesome person, Beak. Your goodness shines through.
