Yes, of course. but over a period of time if those compliments don't come with increased wages, then the compliments begin to have a negative impact on work energy.

@dave_malicke Agreed. Nice words only come so far, If you help the company grow it is expected that it helps you grow (financially) too.

Of course! It motivates me for sure.
@zekiye_nur_kesici Thank you for sharing :) I hope some compliments come your way after your launch :)
@indu_thangamuthu Interesting! How come?
@jaka_koprivec Affecting in bad way..no. Cuz my superiors have the tendency of changing the task once I do good work 😅
@indu_thangamuthu Aaaa I see, that would irritate me too!

For me sometimes it does and sometimes it does not.
@shantanu96 Does this have anything to do with the supervisor that gives the compliment?

@jaka_koprivec Not really. It mostly has to do with how much self motivated I am. If i think the task could have been done more effectively then a compliment from senior would have little effect on me.

Compliments from ANY colleague definitely motivate me.
@suyash_chaudhari That is nice to hear. It is the same for me. Sometimes if a designer compliments my work I feel even better than if the CEO does it :D

@jaka_koprivec I know right. I've also found it useful to use this fact to help those who aren't that confident - for example, I try to compliment a new team member on simple tasks as well so that they are more comfortable in the group.
I actually really love getting that from my users. That's a whole different feeling no investor can give me :)
@uma_venugopal positive user feedback is definitely the thing that gives an additional confidence boost :D

100% Jaka!
Whenever I get positive feedback about the work I've done, it gives me a rush of motivation and additional energy!
It really gives me purpose to keep pushing harder and get things done quicker!
@felix_digistash It's really interesting how big an impact this has! I 100% agree.
