It never hurt anyone to give yourself a little pat on the back without waiting for anyone else to do it for you. A little self-appreciation could take you a long way… if it doesn’t evolve into mild self-obsession that is.
Jonathan ‘works’ at a company based in Tennessee, USA. The company posted an announcement on it’s Facebook page, congratulating Jonathan for becoming the ‘Employee of the Month’. They also announced that he’d won an all-expense paid trip to Arkansas for his hard work.
Sounds like a dreamy workplace, right? (wait for it!)
Congratulations to Jonathan Warrington for being employee of the month! Jonathan will get a 3 day and night all expense paid hunting and fishing trip to Arkansas for his hard work!

As a reply to this post, Jonathan thanked his ’employers’ saying, ‘I’m thankful to have a great boss!’
This is my brother’s page.
He owns his own company.
He IS the boss.
He’s literally the only employee. pic.twitter.com/3SpKekH80D

I am self-employed and I am taking notes. How have I never recognized myself as employee of the month before?!

What kind of company gives all of their employees a vacation at the exact same time? Rhat seems like a huge problem in case of a work emergency.

When he's talking alone in a room, does that's mean he have a team meeting?

My dad does this shit all the time. He owns his own business and whenever we go on vacations he says “idk I’ll have to talk to my boss” and when my brothers consider going (they work for him) he says “your boss is so nice I’m sure he won’t care!”

By Jonathan’s simple act of calling himself the employee of the month, he really helped spread the notion of self-appreciation in quite a funny way.
