Accomplishments

My best accomplishment I had was from a customer I met and grew to know during Covid….she wrote a letter to the company regarding my management skill as always keeping a product in stock for her autistic son during those trying times…got featured in a giant newsletter and called to corporate office along with one of my team members in my department to give a speech and take pics with the customer…truly didn’t need the company recognition because it was all about her son and nothing else to me and my team!!!
