If I enter the correct numbers then the materials will not be wasted and will used properly. The third thing to ask myself, “will my employer reward my performance?” As I have stated before, my employer does not do employee of the month; however, my employer lets all employees off early on a Friday if all the orders and other work are done before the end of the week. That is their way of rewarding employees for working hard during the week to meet the employers’ needs and
