A Gift of Ship...

                    A Ship Gift is a gift given to all the team individuals for thier tremendous contribution in making a successful release of the product. My companys pride has always been into satisfying its employees in all ways (monitorily as well..).. I am writing this post after coming from a hefty corporate lunch at Sahib sindh sultan with a corporate menu on the occassion of shipping our prod successfully (guess so but not sure though.. someone says, if its corporate lunch we shouldnt think much.. just go and hog and come...no matter what is the occassion...)... we started our lunch with Papad, Shev Puri chat, Chicken Starters, Roti pe Boti starter, Roti and Curries, Chick Biryani... Finally Kulfi madeup dessert was amazing... On our return, our PM sends an email to collect the yummy ship gift - a 2 GB flash drive... That includes a few people from other team who were in no way related to the release of our product.. haha.. I atleast feel very happy to be one among the lot if i am being called to collect a gift (for the release of my neighbourly products without any reason..)... no worries... but i really feel sorry for the management for not having given it to a few more people whose contribution has been invaluable through out the release. When you leave the team you are someone else... yes, thats what they exactly mean when they say - "You will be really missed in the team"... which includes these as well.. haha... To the irony, some other teams also get the same gift for their quarter morale... no wonder, management is smart.. they make sure that you are happy... you get something apart from your bonus money... no matter what they name it a - ship gift, quarter morale gift, neighbhour hood prod release gift.. A gift is a gift to cherish for long for any one.....
