We are living in a society that prides itself on its capitalistic ideals. Working 40 + hour weeks with a few weeks of vacation per year has become the norm. We have become a workaholic nation. So when your employer gives you a break, you can really appreciate the people you are working for.
Kidd PR has given the 3rd of July off for an extended three day weekend to celebrate Independence Day. And, the interns were recently given a Friday off so I could attend a canoe camping trip with friends. These seemingly little gestures are what makes employees appreciate the company they work for and work harder because of it. So even when a company’s gesture seems small, it shows they do care about their employees.
I’ve heard horror stories from my parents of various companies they have worked for and the resentment and frustration they still hold is apparent. Finding a company that cares matters, period. It makes you want to go to work and pump out your best work every time.
Is this economy tough right now? Yes. And leaving a job sounds crazy. But honestly, I’ve seen what hating your job does to the spirit. It drains positivity and passion. Some people are at their job more than their home, and so if you don’t consider your work a home away from home, it’s not worth it. Everyone deserves to feel appreciated, and everyone deserves to love their job. So, do you?
