Here's hoping they appreciate your efforts. One would think that if management took it seriously, there would be more information trickling down to you and the troops.

We have an annual fundraising season and my employer makes it very easy (payroll deductions, etc.). From November 1 on there's a big board out front showing how close each of our main organizational units are doing toward their goal. Lots of the rank-in-file people don't care, but management does make an effort and they do thank the people who "volunteer" to do the grunt work. But it does take leadership and some commitment from the highter-ups...

Here's hoping 2016 is much less aggravating for you! Hang in there.

Cheers,
Scott.
