The Other Mission Statement

Associates are immoral,
to spy is just.

The shadowing of workers
assures profitability.

Surveillance is revealed,
but done covertly.

Our goal:
to gain the trust of our people.

do you work for the same company i do? didn't see you at the water cooler....  

"Our goal:
to gain the trust of our people"

hehe.... well? maybe we are in a virtual company together and we are our people... and as pogo said, "we have met the enemy and they is us"....

and your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write some really fine poetry.... oh? i see you've chosen to accept it...

Thanks, Kethry!  A lot of companies just don't get that you can't have trust in return if you don't trust your employees!

Doreen, I'm sure I saw you at the water cooler, wasn't that you scribbling some poetry on a notepad?  Thank you!  Guess I had some attitude on a Monday morning, huh?

Sven, thanks, yes it seems to be that way, why I'm not sure!

Corrine - this is one powerful mission statement. Congradulations for putting this together, as it is so very true.

Sounds like every company that I have ever worked at. Wouldn't it be a much better world if we ran things?!   Great poem, Corinne!

Quite simply - "thanks - I needed this today"
and forgive another Pogo quote:
"How pierceful grows the hazy yon
How myrtle petaled thou
For spring has sprung the cyclatron
How high browse thou brown cow..."
so much for corporate responsibility (and culpability ~G~)

Did you mean the REAL mission statement?   You certainly did pack a lot into a small space with this one!
