Perhaps I haven’t made my point clear. I’m sure gratitude between friends has a whole other set of unspoken etiquette I wouldn’t deign to have such opinions on.

But professionally, I think that people in positions of influence/authority/leadership/seniority (not to mention privilege) have an obligation to offer meaningful and genuine praise (and indeed criticism) to those ‘under’ them, where its due. And in a timely way. This is a spectacular FAIL on all counts and just thought it deserved exposing!

But perhaps I’ve been a bit harsh; he was after all the only member of chapter to offer some thanks of any substance during the week itself.
