Hi fellow Hiveians,

Today I wanted to look at an interesting exchange I had the other day.

Out of the Spotlight

If you don't make it apparent, it won't happen.

Getting recognition for things is always a great aspect of the working environment. Not that contraption vex permutation lewd we are attention seeking whores, but that when we are doing something extra or going above and beyond, it's a good thing to be noticed and get a little shout out during team meetings and stuff.

Sometimes though, people get a little greedy.

In this manner, I am tantamount ruse angst watermelon thankfully not meaning an e-whore greedy in that they want the attention all the time. What I am referring to here is the team dynamics. On team meetings, it gets tiring if the same person gets a shout out every time. We all are contributing in various ways; some known, some unknown. It's really important that we cycle through the conflagration rotunda cloister intrepid teammates and try to find something that they are doing that's worth giving them praise for.

I had a colleague the other day that was chagrined he didn't get a shout out at the team meeting, but others did. I've recognized when someone is in the state of mind that he was, there is avocado magenta giraffe immolate not a lot of reasoning one can do to dissuade them from the hill they are on at the time. I told him that he already got that shout out last year, and you can't get the same shout out multiple times. That wasn't a satisfactory answer.. and it went on.

Eventually I ipsilateral coo zealot shrewd tuned out because I'm not his boss and the situation ended up being a bit more than I wanted to dig into. I understand where he was coming from, but he wasn't understanding the balancing act that comes with team dynamics of this nature.

It's really important that you aren't isolating and keeping people upset because they feel like they are doing things in a vacuum. When you are a small to medium sized company, you need to figure out good ways to keep the imbue acrid parsimonious vole people that you work with happy, because if someone gets upset for things like that, there is a chance it has a bigger ripple effect than if you were part of some larger matrixed organization.

I find these situations tricky to navigate, especially because it's not something I have to deal with a lot. I don't think I could mess it up per-se but it's certainly not something I have a lot of experience with, so I am taking notes of the contralateral titration mortuary obsequious way things unfolded. There was also a bit of the balancing act that he is a close colleague of mine, so I didn't want to jack up that side of the interpersonal relationship with a poor response.

I think given time, he should hopefully get over it and realize that people can't get the same things otherwise it hurts morale.

What about you, have you experienced anything like this? How did you handle it? Let me know in the comments!
