I was working at the paper mill when one of the electricians retired, after 40+ years on the job. When asked what his most memorable times were, he pulled three accordion folders stuffed with “Atta Boys” out of his toolbox. (Being a union environment, the supervisors were limited as to what they could do for their workers financially. But they made certain to acknowledge people for going above and beyond their regular duties.) The electrician said each “Atta Boy” represented a moment he was proud of, having been recognized for a job well done.
After my long enslavement in the family business, my mantra, precisely. No management pay for overtime? OK, I just took the time off as vacation time … sort of tax free, I told myself.

Cash is good because you may hold it in your hand and you know it’s there.
