FOLEY – Making an extra effort in the job won Foley Public Works employee Aaron Baggett a special recognition from the South Baldwin Chamber of Commerce.
Baggett was surprised with the chamber’s SB Awesome award Friday morning at the Foley Public Works Department office.
Tyler Higginbotham of RJ Seamless Gutters, the chamber’s presenting sponsor, said he watched Baggett go beyond his job requirements while collecting limbs and yard waste to do his work as well as possible.
“He got out a rake and raked up the extra stuff that was there, the extra little leaves,” Higginbotham told Baggett. “You did that. You didn’t have to do that. You could have just used a grappler to pick it up and put it in. And it’s not just you.”
Higginbotham said many Foley employees make an extra effort.
“You guys are all doing it. Right now they’re cutting limbs, picking them up. Y’all are doing a great job, the entire force,” he said. “So thank you so much for doing what you do, and for going above and beyond and just doing a little bit of extra. So the next time you see somebody doing something extra let them know.”
