If Ya need praise then go see...nevermind , I'll be nice.
I think the idea is positive reinforcement kinda thing.
He was in the navy so for him that probably means when the other ships back him up??

I teach and have students who crave recognition all the time...but it means nothing if I’m praising them for doing what they were supposed to do, like homework. I reserve it for extremely limited times when they go above and beyond or work hard for dramatic improvement on a big test. It means a lot more this way as they know I’m extremely limited on praises.3

You bring up a good point. There is a threshold where one can offer too much praise for the validation seeking millennials. Better to be a little more selective with praise so that it is better appreciated.

Recognizing a hard working employee’s efforts and showing appreciation will make them want to continue to do a good job. A person shouldn’t need constant praise to do their job but occasionally it is nice.
In my field, I deal with sick people and people in pain or dying. It is usually a thankless job full of complaints. I can be running around like crazy, haven’t eaten in 9 hours, no formal break, no bathroom break because I’m trying to save a life and someone will complain they have been waiting a whole 3 hours for something trivial.
But those one out of 20 people who are thankful and express gratitude makes it all worth it.
You are so dreamy 😊

I like money. And to be left alone most of the time.
But if most employees like praise it seems like it would be a lot cheaper for the employer to use a little codified backpatting than giving raises.4 -
