I retired 12 years ago and earlier this week a former employee reached out to me asking if I would mind being an employment reference for her. She moved to her home town and was looking for a job. Her prospective employer called me and I was happy to tell them about her work ethic and excellent person skills. The door bell rang late yesterday, she got the job and she sent thank you flowers to me to thank me for the reference I gave her. A happy surprise last evening. So thoughtful of her!
What a lovely way to say thank you! I've had the pleasure of giving good references for a couple people looking for jobs. It makes you feel good to speak highly of someone. Beautiful shot.
what a lovely arrangement, and so thoughtful of the person. now, how come nobody i gave a good reference never sent me flowers? oh, that's right, i don't tell anyone my address (and even at the office, there's a "extremely confidential-under no circumstances" note in my file at HR. in july my boss told me he was asking HR for my address and he was told about the notation and he couldn't muscle them with his senior partner status.)

Your reward is beautiful 😊
