            No doubt, it definitely feels good! That's why I also use this tactic to motivate employees. Think about it ;)

              I mean, I don't think it was done with the intent to motivate me, as I'm pretty motivated to begin with - goes with loving the job. I think I just have a great client. :)

                Reminds me of when a guy in the support department for our major development environment at that time sent me a Christmas greeting to his favorite customer: The bug reports from us (for all practical purposes: me) were exemplary: Clearly stated, reduced to the minimum required to reproduce the problem, and with lucid descriptions of how to progress to provoke the bug. If all customers had been like that, he would have been a happy man. That is the single Christmas greeting I don't think I will ever forget.

                      It might turn out that way, but it applies just as much between a manager who needn't fear ever having to work for the person being chewed out. The best boss I ever had put it as, "So hard to build [trust], so easily destroyed."

                        Part of my job at the tiny company I work for is to look after the licenses we sell our customers and to help them get going, or upgrade to newer versions, that sort of thing, and I can absolutely do some of the more advanced tech support for any part of the code that I've actually written (and some I haven't). Throughout the years some customers have gone out of their way to say how impressed they are with the support they're getting, our dedication to quickly finding solutions or going right ahead and implementing a bug fix that gets released within hours of a problem being reported. Those always make my day. I never use a condescending tone, or treat customers like they're idiots, and always try to walk them through solutions just as if I was sitting right next to them at their desk and having a conversation.
