This one's gonna hurt Corporate Gifts to the Bigwigs

I've spent a lot of time in the corporate world and the disgust seems to come through in some of the notes I write. No apologies here. This time though I wanted to write something a little different. Namely, the pressures on people within the corporate structure.

There was this project I was working on that the vendor kept sending me gifts. Not gifts like girls on a stick or anything like that but corporate gifts. These people sent me a monthly gift of something, I think trying to generate "good will." What they didn't realize is that I don't accept gifts of any sort from anyone involved with a project. Interestingly enough however, the upper management also received the gifts and THEY DID keep them. So in the end, my good work implemented the project on time and on budget.
