doesn't have to be a manager, could be a colleague saying thank you for helping them out...
Sure better than finding a letter sent to all staff that says that the company is doing well DESPITE the poor performance of the software department and goes on to effectively call everyone in software engineering a group of lazy incompetent idiots (though not in so many words).
Such a letter was mailed to all staff here early this year, and we're a software company...
