Bob Michalski agreed explaining, “I was surprised and honored to receive the Goodwill Award for the 4th quarter. Being a member of a support department, I never expected to be nominated. My goal has always been to ensure that all of our employees receive an accurate paycheck each week”. I always thought I had a thankless job until last Thursday.
