Our Area Vice President visited our plant for the first time today, and was careful to shake as many people's hands as possible. Plant management was just crowing after he left about how different that was from some of the previous bosses, who were very uncaring in their manner.
I got to thinking about that. I could not have bought one single thing with that man's smile or thanks or handshake. It cost him absolutely nothing to do that. It did not better my situation one bit. If he had increased my pay or spent some money to adequately staff the facility, then I would have been impressed, at least a little. But a handshake? I don't work for handshakes; I work for money.
Some people are easily impressed.
