Hard work does pay off...A rewarding work brag!

I love your post!! I'm so happy for you...sounds well deserved! Someone is always watching even if we don't hear about it. Enjoy!!

Oh you guys! !!!!! Thank you bunches... it means a lot:)

I told my hubby let's get a king size bed we always wanted and he looked at me with a question mark on his face.

Congratulations :) You have worked super hard at looking after everyone. Now do someting nice for yourself. You deserve it :) Super sweet brag. Thanks so much for sharing :)

Wow, love this brag! I work in customer service as well, so I know how hard it can be. So glad that your company recognized all your hard work!

As far as the gift cards, I would use them to purchase something a bit crazy that you never would buy with your own money, but really want. Something like designer shoes or bag or new piece of furniture or new hobby equipment (I would buy a kayak!). Or go on vacation!

After taking on a new role 2 years ago I saw an opportunity and since then have been working harder than ever. I work in customer service, we all know how that is but I take my job very seriously and in order to do my best I service my customers as if it were my own company and I am in the customer's shoes. Yes there are a lot of bad apples in every company but there are lots of Good ones. I never felt that the company saw my potential and never complained about it. The fact that I even had
a good job was a blessing yet I still pushed myself, I worked through my lunches and breaks just to help unhappy customers. They didn't know that but they saw it in my work and always get praised. Have you ever called in to customer service for a company and got the most wonderful representative and said to them in the end "I wish all agents were like you, can I speak with you every time? "Lol I know I have. I get that reaction all the time because I am a soft spoken person and I don't act like I care, I actually go the extra mile. So any who my hard work was recognized a couple weeks ago when I received $150 worth of visa prepaid cards because of my results in last year's last quarter. I was just so excited I realized they did notice. It got even better yesterday when in front of hundreds of employees I was recognized as the top performer in my department for customer satisfaction in all of 2014 across Canada and this time I earned a lot of claps and hugs and hand shakes from the directors along with a $1000 visa prepaid card!!!!!!. I held the tears in... they took pictures lol. I also got a VIP invitation to the big Gala in April that does an award ceremony In front of the company's VIP's. The point of my brag is not just the Visa cards but knowing what I love doing best is rewarding on it's own. I have been in customer service all my work life and wouldn't want to do anything else but make customers happy whether it be my own company or the one I work for. I can't make everyone happy but I do my absolute best.



On a funny side note... As I was presented with the gift card, my managers said to everyone out loud... "oh we all know she will be maximizing that $1000 with her coupons and deal huntings". They know me all too well!

Thanks for reading...... tell me, what would you do with $1150 in prepaid visa gift cards?

As a smart canucker, I'm turning that $1150 into $2300!!
Awesome job--congratulations!

Wow, wow and wow. What a wonderful brag. You love your job and that is so nice as too many peoples dont like it. You are making me happy just by reading your post and I am sure that you make the customer and your Co-worker also.
You deserve to be rewarded and have that money too. Go and spend on something that you really, really wanted and could not get it.

You go girl and I sure thank you for sharing such a awesome brag..........................................:-)

Congratulations on doing a great job! And it sounds like you have a great life!
As for the gift cards, if you have any debt that is keeping you awake at night, I would put some money towards the debt. A king size bed isn't any good to you if debt keeps you from getting a good night's sleep.
But I wouldn't spend it ALL on debt. You have to live too! So decide what's most important to you, what makes you happy, and put some money towards that. Not everyone likes to travel like me, but that's where I'd put some money.
And congratulations again!

Congratulations! This is a great brag, so spoil yourself!

Wow...Congratulations!!! You held back the tears but I didn't. What a lovely brag. Way to go.

love seeing that as most emplyers now just take most for granted awsome job as for the gift cards for us summet comming up hoping to get canadas wonderland tickets for the season so when board just pack a picnic lunch and take off

Great brag! I sure hope you get a promotion and a great pay raise to go along with your awards! :-)

Congratulations! Sounds like they picked a well-deserving employee to win :)
I would stick the money in the bank or onto my mortgage. No fun, I know!
