The "Attaboy" Award
"One thousand "ATTABOYS" qualifies you to be a leader among men,
work overtime with a smile,
explain all problems to Management with clarity,
declaring that you can be held personally accountable
if anything should go wrong,
and be looked upon as a self-sacrificing and self-effacing Hero,
all without a raise in pay or a little time off.
But screw up one time and the entire company will be informed
that everything was all your fault, and all of those "Attaboys" will
all be forgotten, and you have to start all over again."
("Attaboy" = THAT---A---BOY!, as in "Very Good!" or "Well Done!"
or a Pat---On---The---Back, for a job well done at work.)
