I’m fairly early into my career, so it will be a few more years until I’m a “boss,” but when I am, I’ll look back at this and make sure that I’m doing this. What a great way to make an employee feel welcome, worthy and motivated.

Great note. I wish more companies would make it their policy.

This is complete bullshit. No boss I’ve ever had gave a shit about anything other than the bottom line. The ‘new employee’ is nothing more than an inexperienced resource drain.

I would love to receive a note like that from a new boss; it would mean I got off to the best possible start there. However, if the boss then turned out to be not following the steps in the note, I would become unhappy very quickly…it would be worse to say all that and then not follow it up, than to just not say it at all

Sadly, if I ever got a note like that from my boss I’d quit my job then and there. Not because I don’t like the contents of the note, mind, but rather because I wouldn’t believe it and couldn’t trust my boss to live by it.

my boss is just like this!!! i work in hr though, so i guess she sorta should be. i feel so sorry for folks who hate their jobs because of the social microcosm. my coworkers are thoughtful and honest. the exec director gives everyone (140 employees) anniversary and birthday cards with $5. we have picnics. we have breakfast every two weeks. we address the employee satisfaction surveys down to the last minute detail. we have “pat on the back” awards.

i love my job.
