A Delhi-based corporate employee received an unexpected reward during his annual appraisal meeting when he was gifted a brand-new MG Hector, an unusual departure from standard performance discussions involving salary hikes and bonuses.
The employee, Pratyush Singh, said he had entered the meeting anticipating a routine review of performance metrics, achievements and future targets, as is typical in corporate appraisal cycles. Instead, he encountered a gesture that he described as beyond expectation.
