Work is a place that sometimes you can take help and kindness for granted. You’re all working at the same company with hopefully the same vision as your company and would automatically help people out to be on the same page of achieving the vision (in theory.)
Back in September I went on holiday for two weeks and I needed a couple of people to help cover my role while I was away. However it was near impossible to get anyone to cover for me. In the end I found one person, and while I was away two others helped out as well. With a fast paced office, the role that I have along with 60 odd others is pretty demanding, so I appreciated the cover even more.
Upon returning from holiday I found there were a few people that helped out while I was away, and it took me a while to figure out a way to say thank you. One person was based at another site so I needed to find a gift I could send in the internal mail. I settled on a set of thank you teabags from ‘Not on the High Street’ and a jar I bought from Home Bargains for a whopping 10p I filled up with chocolates as another way to say thank you.
Both presents were gratefully received and touched that I even got them a present in the first place.
