I HATE idiotic mission statements.   We fought for two weeks to come up with "Your lives are our future"   ::)

In my view, it makes us look like whimsical airheads.

Firmly believing that a "Mission Statement" should encapsulate the purpose of the business I once suggested that the company I was working for should adopt ~ "Seeking to Maximise our Profits at your Expense".
For some reason the CEO decided I wasn't entering into the team spirit he wanted at that meeting.  noooo:
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Mrs S has a member of management who has stopped "Thinking outside the box" and now says "Now we are beyond the box" ................ She says she may kill him this term.
