Employers showing appreciation

Why is it so difficult for employers to show their appreciation for hard work to their employees. They work hard, get the work out the door, keep them in business. Yet a simple thank you is simply too hard to do.

As an employee, we know we get paid to do the work, but if we go beyond the call of duty, put in the extra hours, meet deadlines, create new business and we don't get paid for the extra work. Then a simple thank you can mean the world to you.

What about, hey employee, you worked on Saturday when no one else would, why don't you take tomorrow  or some day in the future off and have some time to yourself? Doesn't happen. So why do we work the extra hours, why do we work so hard for an employer who doesn't seem to give a crap about you? I don't know. I'm putting it down to loyalty, but then loyalty will only get you so far I believe. Sooner or later, that employer will lose a good or great employee because they didn't say a simple thank you or show appreciation in some way, shape or form.
