I got a star once. It wasn't much. Just a small marking on a planning board. It was erased in due time, but made me happy while it was there.

On a more serious note, if I'm doing well in a job I request more money. I don't want to seem shallow, or greedy, as I do enjoy my work. All that other stuff is nice, the meals, cards, well wishes, and should be handed out commonly. However, if I'm really doing a good job, then I'd like a proper reward.
