Awards Day

Today my boss got an award from the Metropolitan Transit Authority. No money, not even a gold watch, but a nice certificate ( probably printed out on a computer). She gave a nice little speech and we all gave a a nice little applause.
Now would the MTA consider paying her what she's worth (which is a lot more than what she's currently getting) and a new job classification that actually reflects the fact that she founded this program, grew this program to its current extent, and that she has enormous responsibility for making it work. A certificate is nice, but actually compensating her for what she's worth would be nice. But don't hold your breath. This is, after all, Silly Service.
