Rich and Ron, my bosses, are big into incentives: goals and reward systems. It plays big into their business philosophy. This was a little strange to me at first, setting up goals and rewards for things that I felt I was meant to be doing anyway (by nature of the fact that it’s my job) but I’m starting to understand.
