. . but really, for everyone:
Whenever Lis gets an email thanking her for doing something well, or praising her for a job well done, she saves it to a particular file.
Her primary reason for this is so that, at annual review time, she can go to her manager with a printout of the file, and say, "See? THIS is what I do for the company, and how much I'm worth to people." For Lis, it's all about the Filthy Lucre, which is great by me, since that's what pays the bills.
But I can see, for some of you, (*cough*Ny*cough*), it might be additionally useful to have, just to LOOK at sometimes. It's ONLY the good things, because the purpose of it is to show to managers at Raise Time. But I think that, for some folks, it'd be nice to not only show the people who are in charge of raises how good you are -- it'd also be useful to show to YOURSELF how useful you are.
