Sharing a Compliment

--by Nameless, posted Aug 29, 2014

I've been trying to get a friend of mine hired at the company I work at -- he's actually a former boss of mine, but that's fine too. He is a friend today. Easily one of the brightest people I know and he'd be a great fit at our company.

A woman who has been here for 30 years saw his resume and thought so too. I'm not in the position to hire him, but she is and knows others that are, too. So far, things are looking positive.

While that could be my kindness story today, it's really not. In talking with my friend about the meeting that he had, he said of the 30 year veteran -- "I really like her because you know she cares. She cares about the company and she cares about the quality of her work."

I agreed with him wholeheartedly as this really does sum up this individual.

I sent an email at work to her today thanking her for taking the time to speak to my friend, but also shared with her his comment and my agreement.

It made her happy - she said it brought tears to her eyes.

I'm reminded that simply passing along compliments that are shared with others is sometimes a great gift of kindness with a depth that we simply can't guess.
