Pictures on The Wall (Part 10 of 10)
"We've received some feedback regarding your recent accomplishments," said his manager.
When they arrived back to the dealership, Mark rubbed his eyes. There were gold balloons above his cubicle. What was going on? He followed Sherry to his desk.
“I’m not sure what’s happening,” he said.
“There seems to be some sort of celebration going on,” said Sherry.
As they grew closer he noticed a group of his co-workers walking toward them.
“What’s all this?” he asked.
His manager adjusted his tie. He wore a black button-down to match his leather shoes, freshly polished by the look of them.
“We’ve received some feedback regarding your recent accomplishments,” said his manager.
Jerry waved. Was he behind this?
Kevin and Paul both stood with their hands behind their backs. Kevin stared up at the ceiling and let out a quiet whistle.
“You came to the rescue when I was busy with a customer,” said Jerry.
“And you used your own vehicle to help a customer in need,” said Kevin.
“There wasn’t a moment where you seemed inconvenienced by any of it,” added Paul.
“You were there for me when I needed it most,” said Sherry. “You really went above and beyond. And so…”
Kevin revealed what he’d been hiding behind his back.
“Is that what I think it is?” asked Mark. “There’s no way. Jerry, you’ve nearly finished off the entire year being employee-of-the-month.”
“You deserve it, Mark the shark,” said Jerry.
Kevin handed Mark the picture they’d be hanging on the wall. It was the same photo he’d had taken for his ID badge. Did he really want his picture to be up there?
“At least it’ll only be until the end of January,” said Sherry. “Right?”
“I think he’ll make it up there a few more times,” said Jerry.
Mark could feel his face turn bright red.
