They're a lot like those web site "Mission Statement" .........blah blah blah.
Bottom line mission statement is to separate you from your money, as much as possible & as often as possible.

Personally I like 'em. Here's one for laborers with a hammer:

Joe, did you read these? For people who saw too much of that nonsense (I did in my Fortune 150 lifetime) they're a great parody!
we got the one at the shop about "just fire all the unhappy people"
The best employee you can have but you wouldn't want him as a neighbor " He the shifty type"
I've seen these before, there's a store nearby that had them at Christmas time a few years ago. They also have a complete line of Uplifting Messages for those who think they're a suitable gift.
What I meant was those attitude posters remind me of the Mission Statement BS. All the BS really does translate to "We want your money" - why else are they in business?

I think the Vision Statements are even worse than the Mission Statements....or is it the other way around. Amazing how much time senior people have spent in god-awful tedious meetings coming up with the most incredibly generic mission and vision statements. "We are committed to cherishing the values of our human resources as we strive to provide our customer-partners with......."
"We are committed to cherishing the values of our human resources as we strive to provide our customer-partners with......." the highest quality products, while working to acheive moral integrity, global environmental awareness, and equal opportunity for all races, genders, sexes, religions, etc., and using only biodegradable soap in the waterless-urinal equipped restrooms of our eco-friendly facility where we provide an employee friendly environment for all.
Nice, huh? lol
If you need some help on this, there are a number of automated mission statement generators on the Internet. A couple are:

Thanks for the links! My sons are having a great time with giant flounder #### right now!Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a carpenter to build one.
There's Dreamweaver extension that I use when developing websites to fill the pages with text so that we can at least see how it looks until our clients gice us the real text or we write it for them that gives me text like this to plug in...
Great posters! Thanks for the link I will have to order some of them.

I hope you've read some Scott Adams (besides the strip).
One of my fav's: DON'T STEP IN THE LEADERSHIP!Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a carpenter to build one.
Only read one of his books, but not that one. I'm now distant enough from that horrid scene and hopefully will never have to experience it again. Working one-on-one with the client and with the builder is sooooo much more fun.
Hi Bob,
Our Superintendent had a big poster with skull and crossbones that said,
THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES!
(yeah, and it worked wonders!)
