Someday I’ll actually be considered part of my team. Unfortunately today was not that day.

Looked through ADP tonight and found an agency wide increase to $19.99/hour.
I wonder why they didn't make it $20.

Today, I heard my supervisor tell me "we want to respect your time" and apologize for miscommunication that led me to coming in on first instead of second (I worked second yesterday).
This is refreshing. I have an employer who honors my boundaries and apologizes when they get it wrong.

All this, plus whenever anybody thanks me or sends me kudos I say "I really appreciate that, would you mind terribly sending that to my manager without me on the email?" Likewise, whenever I want to send kudos I tell the person and also request they give me their manager's POC so I can send direct. People appreciate it and I have found the karmic wheel for taking the time to be extremely positive.
You know you've done a good thank you letter when you get a call back immediately from the person and they thank you for the kudos lol.
sometimes a vendor just does such a great job you save that entire correspondence chain or work product in a separate file folder called gold standards.

Couple different things, and a lot of it depends on your ability to be tactful and any given specific relationship with a client.
Keep a file with all of the notes as a CYA measure in case you ever need it.
Best time to bring up the notes sent to you but not your supervisors is during a review, even if just in the aggregate while filling out the self-evaluation part ("This last quarter/year/whatever, I received numerous of letters thanking/praising/acknowledging the work I've done for clients."). If your boss questions that, you have the CYA file full of the notes you can share.
As far the step of having others send notes to your manager, best way is to also tie it to your review if you have that kind of relationship with the client. "Hey Jim, thanks for the note. Always glad to help and hear that I'm providing the service you need. I've got my review coming up soon and was hoping you could do me a solid and pass that note onto my supervisor so that they have a better understanding of the quality of work I'm providing on a daily basis. If not, no worries. Thanks" But again, only do that if you have the type of relationship with the client/customer that it'll work and if you can phrase it tactfully.

I'm trying to decide how to share all of the notes I get from my internal stakeholders that say thank you, or you rock, or this project has been seamless working with you, etc. Ideally, I would like these people to actually send a quick note to my manager to say "Just wanted to say [Scarlet] did a great job on this" or something like that, rather than me forwarding emails to my manager with them sending to me directly. Is it out of line to ask them to do that?
