> Lobsang, here’s my question for you. Suppose your employer did recognize and appreciate you - an award certificate, a public award ceremony, a better cubicle, a new title, more deference to your opinions, etc. If that happened, would you be okay with the financial side of it? That’s where the rubber hits the road.

I think so. I’d certainly feel better.

It felt good when I got praise from my boss’ boss for helping to migrate our Database and systems from sql 2000 to sql 2005.
