In November our site of over 250 employees received the announcement that the company was closing our location and by March 31st everyone would be laid off. While most of my coworkers were grateful for the four months of employment we had left, it was an emotional rollercoaster for all of us.I'm a leader at this site and supervise a team of incredible people. While I am going through the same struggles as everyone else, I believe I have a responsibility as a leader to provide moral support for my employees in this difficult time. I have made it my mission to make them laugh, remind them of all the good things still to come, and to tell each of them how valuable they are.
This morning I came in to see a Smile Card on my keyboard. Just when each day was beginning to feel like a struggle to put on a brave face and support my employees, that card reminded that I still have one of the coolest jobs around because I get to impact people in a positive way every day.
I still don't know who left me that Smile Card, but I do know that seemingly small act of kindness will carry me through what may be the toughest two weeks of my career and I am so grateful for that.
