Profit!

By rewarded - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - India

Today, for the second time in 5 months, I was recognized for my hard work, sincerity, and all the adjectives that they use to describe good employees. What was my reward? A piece of chocolate. FML

exactly. recognition is your reward. let your work go unnoticed and see if you are still ungrateful.

Im not sure OP meant they had only been on the job 5 months. And yes if you have been recognized as being such a good employee twice in 5 months expecting a pay bump is not greedy. Thats how it is supposed to work. You work hard and do a good job you move up and make more money. Giving a piece of chocalate like the OP was a grade school kid who did good on their spelling homework is insulting. What has this country come to where we allow employers to treat us like dirt pay us 3rd world wages (when factoring in the cost of living here) and then when we wonder why our hard work isnt rewarded in a meaningful way we are called greedy and ungrateful? People who call OP greedy are the ones who allowed our country to decimate the middle class all in the name of corporate profits, and extreme ceo pay/bonus' while the rest of us can go **** ourselves and starve in the streets while working 60+ hours a week. Seriously we are becoming a third world nation to serve our corporate masters.

At least you got noticed and told that someone appreciated you.

you were praised for your hard work and dedication? wow... you should quit. the absolute nerve of those people... I've worked hard everyday for the past 9 years at my job and still haven't received a raise... they just told me to lose weight because they needed someone for the new commercial.

a commercial which they wouldn't pay me for..

I always heard Willy Wonks gave out great performance bonuses.

At least you got SOMETHING. Including recognition.
