I received a surprise this morning and was honored in a work meeting along with a few other people.
I am in sales and received an award for generating over a million dollars in earned premium for the department that I work in.
I had also earned over $500,000 in another department but they didn't count those figures.
I received a nice plaque that says:
Million Dollar Club
This certifies that
Rachel G
has not only reached the
One Million Dollar Milestone
but, by doing so, has confirmed that
She is one in a million
It was signed by the V.P., A.V.P. and my supervisor.
I also received $50 in American Express gift checques to spend however I want.
I do get regular sales bonuses but this was in addition to that just as a small thank you.
So, today I am no longer bitchy but am feeling pretty good because for the first time in a long time I actually feel appreciated at work.

Perfect timing.
Excellent Rachel!! Just what you needed :-) I remember receiving my 1 year certificate from work and I was flying high, just because it's the first job I've ever had where I felt like they knew their employees and cared enough to say hey we know you've been here for a year, we wanted to say thanks, etc. It's a fabulous feeling - have a great day Rachel!!!
that's awesome!
Yay Rach! Congratulations!!!!! It's about freakin' time they recongnized you!!!!!!
How wonderful to be appreciated! Congrats to you :).
it is cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.........
You are definitely one in a million! We already knew that, but I'm glad you were recognized at work for it too. And money is always nice. Congratulations!
Congrats, Rach!
So...where are you taking me out for dinner Sun? ;)
Nice! Congratulations!
Congrats! I used to sell financial services/ insurance and it is thankless. Supervisors don't realize how far a little recognition goes!!
You rock and now it's official
Thats great, congrats! What a difference a day makes!
Good for you. I can't sell anything, so I'm extra impressed.
What a way to end the week.

WTG Girl.. Nice job..
Congratulations Rachel! We already knew that you were one in a million, but it never hurts to have official confirmation.
And a belated Congratulations!
I hope it's not so late that you've already spent it all. But if you have, hope it was fun for all involved.
