Mike Murray, a surprisingly hapless HR manager at Microsoft, made a number of goofs, but the doozie was introducing a “Ship It” award shortly after he started the job. The idea was that you would get a big lucite tombstone the size of a dictionary when your product shipped. This was somehow supposed to give you an incentive to work, you see, because if you didn’t do your job– no lucite for you! Makes you wonder how Microsoft ever shipped software before the lucite slab.

ZOMG PINK PONIES :)
Jokes aside, my co-worker has like ten of similar MS’ lucite slabs with proud engraving ‘Microsoft Business Partner, year XXXX”. He put them near his office door, on a corridor wall. I was instantly fascinated by these trophies, so maybe this thing has some use after all.
However, I feel pity for ppl who received ‘Ship it’ :)

SHEEP IT! SHOVE IT! SHIRK IT! AND BE HAPPY! =^_^=
