I hate how managers under-value and under-emphasize monetary recognition as a way to incent workers and improve morale. It's so ironic because managers and executives get bonuses for meeting their performance goals, no matter what the economy, so why wouldn't the rest of us be motivated by cash?
What's more, small gestures like saying thank you and complimenting employees should be a given—regardless of whether the economy is in a period of boom or bust. Managers who think saying thank you will make up for pay cuts and salary freezes are clueless, and their empty compliments come off as patronizing.
In cases like that, small gestures are just that: small.
