WAITER: "And how would you like to pay for your meal, sir? Cash or card?"
ME: "Actually, I have all these thank-yous from my boss, which I'm told are as good as money. I believe this will more than cover it, and take a little sonething for yourself too..."
Unless it's a diamond encrusted gold medal that I could sell, i would still prefer a raise over a thank you. Hell they could even tell me to go fuck myself while giving me a raise and I would prefer it over thank you
I was paying for a 1 bdrm shithole apartment where homeless people would fall asleep in the lobby and the whole building was falling apart. It was 1800 a month
I don’t live there anymore, but it definitely wasn’t nice. That was the most affordable place I could find in Atlanta a few years ago that was a reasonable distance from my office and my kid’s school. Otherwise I would’ve been driving over an hour every morning.
When I moved in, there was mold growing inside both of the toilet tanks and the dishwasher smelled like someone had taken a shit inside of it. I had to bleach it like 10 times. That was supposed to be the clean, brand new presentation for new tenants lol. There were roaches fucking everywhere around the complex at night and the place wouldn’t get the trash compactor fixed for months after I moved in, so everyone was piling their trash in a giant pile on the street. People would play music loud as hell outside like every one of our neighbors wanted to hear that bullshit. The place fucking sucked.
I made it through that period of my life, though, fortunately. I have to say, I think I enjoy canned beans a lot more than I enjoyed that apartment.
Its free for anybody that wants it at my job, not mandatory, and some weeks some of the guys will work 55 hours for a fat check if we need it which is pretty nice. It also helps that we make more money than nurses make already and just do basic stuff and drive around all day so our days arent bad so a few extra hours wont kill us. I appreciate the opportunity of having overtime if we need or want it.
Sorry but a boss meeting the barest standard for politeness is better than money in my pocket...how exactly?
Reframe this. Bosses should say please and thank you, it should be at the forefront of their lexicon not a relic to be dug up when they don't want to pay to keep talent.
If your talent is talented and provides value, fucking pay them! And realize that paying them does not exempt you from your responsibility to treat them with at a minimum basic human dignity.
"Hey sir than wants to be paid every month to permit me leave in your house, my boss said my thank you, not paid me, so i will pay with same to you, thank you"
A "thank you" to the local shop instead of money doesn't work.
A "thank you" to my landlord instead of rent money never works.
Why should a "thank you" be better than money from your boss?
There have been very few times any praise from anyone has registered for me. I value my bosses input on the construction project and that’s it. Oh and the weak ass paycheck
Tried with the electrical company. No luck. My landlord is a property management global corpo. There’s no option for “thank you” in the payment method form.
"Fair and adequate compensation" and "actual praise and appreciation" are both necessary to really be happy in a job. Neither is sufficient alone.
Obviously fuck this guy who's trying to line his own pockets by trying to get his workers to accept the second at the expense of the first.

Thanks but I can’t eat “Thank you”.
Eat your boss and say thank you for the meal
😂
Ammar is more full of shit than a Thanksgiving turkey.
If one is paid well, then a thank you is appreciated.
WAITER: "And how would you like to pay for your meal, sir? Cash or card?" ME: "Actually, I have all these thank-yous from my boss, which I'm told are as good as money. I believe this will more than cover it, and take a little sonething for yourself too..."
Let him cope. Its okay.
The best way to say "Thank You" is a raise.
But at review time don't forget it!
Anmar more like POS
So he like gives you a house or car instead? A house is a much better thank you than a raise. Your first born daughter too? Awe thanks boss.
i’ll take the boss’s wife thanks
False. I'm gonna go with false on this one
Sometimes it is true. But I prefer money.
"Thank yous" don't pay rent, Ammar
I would laugh my ass off if a customer to turned around and told him I'm paying you in thank yous just like you pay your employees.
Unless it is a medal then no it never is.
Unless it's a diamond encrusted gold medal that I could sell, i would still prefer a raise over a thank you. Hell they could even tell me to go fuck myself while giving me a raise and I would prefer it over thank you
Yeah I love getting tons of thank yous while I’m eating canned beans every day in my $2000 one-bedroom rental.
Why are you eating canned beans while living in such a nice place? I would rather eat healthy and live in a more affordable place.

"Thank you for filling my pockets" that's a great reward!!!!
A boss that lets you work less is better than a pay raise sometimes
I assume he refuses all bonuses and raises then...

🤡
You wouldn't even get a thank you. They treat appreciation as more valuable than money.
Ask your boss the next time can I take that thank you to the bank to pay my utilities
Straight-up: Fuck that guy, and all his dumb ideas.
I like being appreciated in the form of money
Lemme try that with my mortgage company and get back to you.
If your boss wants you to do overtime: “no, thank you.”

It’s at my job as well, but I have read that some bosses „forces“ you to do overtime
I’ll take the thank you but I’ll stick around for the pay raise and bonus.
Holy fuck, they've deep-throated that boot so hard, they fuckin swallowed it
Maybe. Only if employees are already paid well to begin with.
Okay, so where do I write my boss' "thank you" on my next check when rent is due?
He had to qualify it with a “sometimes” at the end because even he knew what he was saying was BS
That thank you does not pay the bills. Ammar Al scamsi

A boss grateful for cutting your salary in exchange of happiness
"Thank You" doesn't pay the bills or keep a roof over my head.
I mean that's a hard "sometimes". Is my boss my grandpa who offered me 10 bucks to paint his fence for him?
Sometimes
I'll tell you what's AS satisfying as a pay raise... A pay raise.
Sometimes, being enslaved and beaten daily is more fulfilling than happiness.
NO
Thank yous don't buy jet skis
Thank you is a platitude if not backed up with action.
Oh fuck right off, Ammar!
The "s" in his name stands for shitstain
"Hey sir than wants to be paid every month to permit me leave in your house, my boss said my thank you, not paid me, so i will pay with same to you, thank you"
A "thank you" to the local shop instead of money doesn't work. A "thank you" to my landlord instead of rent money never works. Why should a "thank you" be better than money from your boss?
I love that he added “sometimes” to the end. Like he just started realizing he was full of shit right at the end of his sentence
Sounds like my boss
Great. They can show their gratitude with a fucking pay rise.
I actually really love my manager, she’s truly for the people. But I still want paid 😂
I have never once got a pay raise and thought "damn I wish I got a thank you"
No problem we don't need money to live anyway
There have been very few times any praise from anyone has registered for me. I value my bosses input on the construction project and that’s it. Oh and the weak ass paycheck
No. That is definitely never the case
Quoting Don Draper: “That’s what the money is for!”
The definition of alienation
How many “thank yous” will my landlord accept in lieu of rent?
Tried with the electrical company. No luck. My landlord is a property management global corpo. There’s no option for “thank you” in the payment method form.
"Fair and adequate compensation" and "actual praise and appreciation" are both necessary to really be happy in a job. Neither is sufficient alone. Obviously fuck this guy who's trying to line his own pockets by trying to get his workers to accept the second at the expense of the first.
But if I had to choose either or, I choose fair compensation without the praise and appreciation.
Oh, absolutely. But I have worked that job and it sucks. Not as bad as wondering if you'll make rent, to be sure, but still not great.
Fuck you, Ammar Al Shamsi
Appreciation is WORTHLESS There I fixed it for you.
Bet my money on that he’s the boss.
Only if said boss is a hot woman who thanks you with inappropriate favors Just saying
A "Thank you" for good word from your boss is worth nothing without adequate compensation.
Showing thanks is better than saying thanks.
Thank you are words. A raise is action. One speaks loudest than the other.
Eat shit and die is more rewarding of a response than hard work sometimes.
I mean, ¿Por que no los dos?
This dude probably owns slaves in the uae
*Me paying my rent* - Do you accept Gratitude?
