Heaven forbid that we award our hardworking & productive front line supervisor's and manager's (we do have some) and reward with an increase for their efforts and results last year. They might actually start coming to work with better attitudes and outlooks for their future, when they see that their personal results, do actually account for something. The folk's at the front line , don't often get the credit they deserve, both good and bad. We don't seem to have a problem at the top level's of management lavishing rewarding mediocre results. Our leader's are for the most part on the management committee are parasitic jokes.
