The same is true in the survey The News just performed. Many technicians feel that their employers don’t respect their abilities and rarely (if ever) tell them that a job was well done. As one technician notes, “Money is important, but feeling appreciated and that you are accomplishing something is equally important.”
Appreciation doesn’t have to manifest itself in a tangible form, such as cash or a year-end party. A sincere “Thank you, you did a great job out there” will suffice.
