  "account": "A Mumbai man's Instagram video about the rarity of genuine praise from managers has gone viral, with the message that a simple \"good job\" can heal ten days of overthinking. Rohit Panchal highlights how infrequently employees receive positive feedback from their superiors, making those rare compliments feel like a major achievement. He notes that people often save screenshots of such comments to remind themselves of the value they bring, as they are aware how uncommon it is to get any positive feedback at work. Panchal points out that the modern workplace often focuses more on criticism, with employees frequently working hard yet receiving only negative reviews, making any genuine praise an invaluable morale boost. He concludes that getting a single genuine compliment from a manager is like receiving a lift of spirits for an entire week.",
