I can't believe they went to the expense of presenting the reward in a recycled pizza box.You must bow to their overwhelming generosity

It could be the reinterpretation of reward - Management assigns a budget for the team leader to give a reward to an outstanding team member; team leader views that as unfair or difficult decision to make so decides to share the budget between all team members.the apparent total lack of awareness that such (let's call it insulting) offerings when balanced against other things this comes over as.
Its common for white cats to have that.I went to primary school with a lad who had one brown eye and one blue
He was nicknamed one eye odd eye , kids being rotten as they often can be
I do remember seeing a beautiful white cat with one blue eye and one orange
I so wanted to stick her in my handbag and take her home to keep
I didn't
There is a great exhibit in the Science Museum in London about time and the history of clocks. I saw it when I was in London ages ago.Though funnily I always thought Germany's calling of New Year's Eve as Sylvester was because of Sylvester II, but apparently it's the previous Sylvester who died 600 years before Sylvester II and seems to have had nothing to do with time or its measurement.
NYE just happens to be called "Sylvester" because St Sylvester was buried on Dec 31st and when Pope Gregory XIII (1572 - 1585) was rescheduling the calendar (Gregorian Calendar) he set the end of the year to be Dec 31st
Thus NYE is coincidentally St Sylvester's Day and nothing to do with a monk building mechanical clocks 600 years later.
