Some workplaces, like a certain comic shop I used to work for, were always like that. People getting the job done right, rarely having that acknowledged but being told, "Now do it quicker."
Or like trying to tell the bosses again and again, that saying thank you to your staff for doing a good job was important, and getting the reply, "They get thanked every pay-day with a pay packet."
No, the pay packet is a legal and contractual obligation. Saying please and thank you to your staff is a social one.
Actually, the whole general kerfuffle that I'm reacting to smacks of, "See how easy it is?" syndrome. Someone is capable either through natural ability or years of experience, to do something quickly and accurately. And every time they are dealing with someone relatively new, or who has a different skill set, they keep harping at them and making the point that the task is incredibly easy, inferring that the person is either stupid, untalented, lazy, or all three.
