A present from a customer..

Not a customer to me as such but a contract for my company. I fixed a bug, they sent me this (unprompted):

Would you have accepted? Should I have told my boss? I'm sure there are no conflicts of interest as far as I'm concerned but I know companies get funny about this kind of thing.

Other than that though, its nice for a customer to actually do this, I don't think any have ever bothered to say thanks before

.

Oh, and its nice to know that even F&M do it:

If my other half doesn't want it, it's hers.

You need to report it to your Compliance officer. You are not allowed to keep gifts received from 3rd party or directly from clients.

Compliance officer? You're having a larf

. We're a tiny company that haven't even heard of an HR department.

I've told my boss, he said its fine
