I spent all day yesterday working on some technical issues for our internal systems and processes. All the way up until 10:30 last night when I went to bed. My boss actually complimented my work TWICE yesterday!
I spend all day not generating any revenue and I get praised...I get tens of thousands of dollars worth of unexpected new business and I get a snide remark??? WTF?
