From the giving end:
It’s not that black and white. My experience has been that when I communicate how well a job is going that shortly thereafter a number of the people on that job ask for a raise, a company truck and in some cases production just slows down. However when a job is in the hole and you communicate the job is not doing well, then there seems to be guys that want off of that job and onto another that is doing better because they know there is little chance of getting a bonus on a losing job. Once your labor starts cherry picking their work its over. Overall the less I say about my business to the people the work for me the better things seem to work out.
