The Original Twisted Spinster - A good karma quest for everyone

Ok job market sucks. We all know that. Employers are downsizing UGH! Down here in this town an ad ran for a job opening. 2000 applications!!!!!!! OMG unreal!  Ever think about  the people you see everyday providing you a service.? How secure is their job? A way to keep them from competing for a job you may want, i have an idea. I think everyone who reads this should at least do this just once.

Be it grocery store, teacher, bus driver, the chick at at the coffee shop who makes your latte everyday. What ever. Some person you see often, that provides a service for you. If you think they do a good job send a letter of recommendation to their employer about how you appreciate that particular employee! This may help them keep their job in this tough time and will make sure you wont be competing against them for a job in the future.

I have 4 i am going to do. My sons bus drivers. Last week i watched the buses slide through 2 stop signs by our house everyday. My sons bus driver was always very cautious, even made my son wait after the bus stopped so he could correct his tires before letting the kids board to make sure the bus couldnt slide anymore. There are two ladies at the local grocery i see every time i go in. One is always cheerful the other knows where every dang thing in that store is. My sons teacher in 100 days of school has my son reading and doing simple addition and subtraction. He loves her so much and is excited to go to school everyday. Each of these people i have encountered have been great and do their jobs well and i think their employers should know.

So take 10 mn out of your week, write a quick note about some person who provides you a service and let their boss know you appreciate the job they are doing. Commit to this! Do that by walking up to that person and asking for their full name and write it down then ask for their boss's name and tell them what you are doing. " I have always appreciated your service to me and with the current job market i thought i would write a note to your boss letting them know what a good employee i think you are."  Help these people stay employed. Maybe you can create some good karma for yourself and someone will do the same for you!

Let me hear who you wrote a letter for and why!
