I try not to comment of the political events of other countries (excent Iran, Mexico, Venezuela, and France).

I think that many managers are so wrapped up in their own self promotion that they either forget, or in cases I know of never knew how to, to offer a statement of praise. They get fast tracked through as if they are someone important and forget the civility and human touch that separates quality experienced managers from these fast-track johnnies who think they have made it. The effect of a well placed "thank you" or "well done" to the person who made that difference cannot be underestimated.
I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

True, but the employee constantly yearning this acknowledgement and comparing himself with other employees in terms of this acknowledgement is digging himself deeper and deeper into a hole of insecurities! If you feel your being ignored, ignore it. Managers often tend to lack the required social skills and also tend to treat people differently, they're only human.
