Connection Post #1

Chapter 7 is all about motivation and the two types, intrinsic and extrensic. My job has a lot of extrinsic rewards. At the end of the year we have a christmas party and every employee receives a bonus of one percent of their total ring for the year. So say you ring $100,000 dollars for the year, then your bonus check is for $1,000. But, we hardly ever get commended on what a great job we are doing or that we are actually appreciated at work besides these few extrinsic rewards. It is nice to get that bonus at the end of the year, but I would also like to feel a sense of accomplishment for doing a good job.
