    My boss (who is horrible) gave out little encouragement cards to everyone. I’m one of two especially vocal people in my department. We both got cards that say “You never cease to amaze me.” 🤣🤣🤣 I keep it on my desk as a badge of honor.

      I was about to fire a guy that saw the writing on the wall and retired early. Everyone loved him, but he was terrible and just getting worse every day.

      “You’re unforgettable!”

      “You’ve made an indelible mark on us all, and this place!”

      “Your replacement will have an incredible job ahead of them!”

      I did thank him. A lot. I loved that he left!

        They may feel they way about me. I got in trouble today for sending an email telling them what they need to buy for a classroom. “How dare you tell us what we need!! What do we need? Where do we get that?”
