So normally people like me get extremely happy if you say something like ‘nice shirt’, however it got me wondering about people who receive compliments and gifts all the time, what makes y’all happy? I presume it gets kinda annoying after some time?

Yup. I got a promotion at work a year ago and in my interview for team lead I said I wanted to emulate an earlier person in my role who made people feel supported... and I know my team has respected and embraced my approach to the role.

So now I get to work each day knowing I'm respected and appreciated... that my words and actions have impact on them and their work.

Capitalism sucks, work sucks, but if it's still inevitable at least it's more bearable, you know?

Lmao exactly.

I work at a lumber mill and made the GM cry in the break room one day. All I said was ‘I see you man’ after talking about the stress he takes on.

He’s a very different person with me now.

‘Compassionate Masculinity’ is how I described one of my managers at the Apple Store. He taught me a lot through his example.
