Demotivation

[baht&sold]

Identify with any of these? (my 'local fav' is the top one;)

Also maybe a signature or two in here...

---------

Business As Usual:

Apathy

If we don't take care of the customer, maybe they'll stop bugging us.

Consulting

If you're not a part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem.

Demotivation

Sometimes the best solution to morale problems is just to fire all of the unhappy people.

Disservice

It takes months to find a customer, but only seconds to lose one... the good news is that we should run out of them in no time.

Discovery

A company that will go to the ends of the Earth for its people will find it can hire them for about 10% of the cost of Americans.

Flattery

If you want to get to the top, prepare to kiss a lot of the bottom.

Get To Work

You aren't being paid to believe in the power of your dreams.

Meetings

None of us is as dumb as all of us.

Nepotism

We promote family values here - almost as often as we promote family members.

Retirement

Because you've given so much of yourself to the Company that you don't have anything left we can use.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Entropic Expressions

Adversity

That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.

Change

When the winds of change blow hard enough, the most trivial of things can turn into deadly projectiles.

Despair

It's always darkest just before it goes pitch black.

Hazards

There is an island of opportunity in the middle of every difficulty. Miss that, though, and you're pretty much doomed.

Misfortune

While good fortune often eludes you, this kind never misses.

Mistakes

It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.

Problems

No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now, remember, you've probably only seen the tip of them.

Regret

It hurts to admit when you make mistakes - but when they're big enough, the pain only lasts a second.

Trouble

Luck can't last a lifetime unless you die young.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Failure To Succeed

Defeat

For every winner, there are dozens of losers. Odds are you're one of them.

Failure

When your best just isn't good enough.

Futility

You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take, and, statistically speaking, 99% of the shots you do.

Humiliation

The harder you try, the dumber you look.

Ineptitude

If you can't learn to do something well, learn to enjoy doing it poorly.

Losing

If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style.

Risks

If you never try anything new, you'll miss out on many of life's great disappointments.

Stupidity

Quitters never win, winners never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Idiotic Insights

Cluelessness

There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.

Delusions

There is no greater joy than soaring high on the wings of your dreams, except maybe the joy of watching a dreamer who has nowhere to land but in the ocean of reality.

Dreams

Dreams are like rainbows. Only idiots chase them.

Dysfunction

The only consistent feature in all of your dissatisfying relationships is you.

Idiocy

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Incompetence

When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

Insanity

It's difficult to comprehend how insane some people can be. Especially when you're insane.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Megalomaniacal Maxims

Arrogance

The best leaders inspire by example. When that's not an option, brute intimidation works pretty well, too.

Elitism

It's lonely at the top, but it's comforting to look down upon everyone at the bottom.

Goals

It's best to avoid standing directly between a competitive jerk and his goals.

Intimidation

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent, but you'd be a fool to withhold that from your superior.

Overconfidence

Before you attempt to beat the odds, be sure you could survive the odds beating you.

Power

DPower corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. But it rocks absolutely, too.

Pretension

The downside of being better than everyone else is that people tend to assume you're pretentious.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pessimistic Visions

Agony

Not all pain is gain.

Bitterness

Never be afraid to share your dreams with the world, because there's nothing the world loves more than the taste of really sweet dreams.

Change

It's a short trip from riding the waves of change to being torn apart by the jaws of defeat.

Doubt

In the battle between you and the world, bet on the world.

Fear

Until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore, you will not know the terror of being forever lost at sea.

Individuality

Always remember that you are unique. Just like everybody else.

Loneliness

If you find yourself struggling with loneliness, you're not alone. And yet you are alone. So very alone.

Pessimism

Every dark cloud has a silver lining, but lightning kills hundreds of people each year who are trying to find it.

Strife

As long as we have each other, we'll never run out of problems.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Teambreakers

Blame

The secret to success is knowing who to blame for your failures.

Burnout

Attitudes are contagious. Mine might kill you.

Dare to Slack

When birds fly in the right formation, they need only exert half the effort. Even in nature, teamwork results in collective laziness.

Disloyalty

There comes a time when every team must learn to make individual sacrifices.

Ignorance

It's amazing how much easier it is for a team to work together when no one has any idea where they're going.

Irresponsibility

No single raindrop believes it is to blame for the flood.

Planning

Much work remains to be done before we can announce our total failure to make any progress.

Sacrifice

Your role may be thankless, but if you're willing to give it your all, you just might bring success to those who outlast you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Underachievers

Conformity

When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.

Indifference

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

Laziness

Success is a journey, not a destination. So stop running.

Limitations

Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can walk.

Mediocrity

It takes a lot less time and most people won't notice the difference until it's too late.

Procrastination

Hard work ofen pays off after time, but laziness alwways pays off now.

Underachievement

The tallest blade of grass is the first to be cut by the lawnmower.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Positive Negations

Achievement

You can do anything you set your mind to when you have vision, determination, and an endless supply of expendable labor.

Ambition

The journey of a thousand miles sometimes ends very, very badly.

Leaders

Leaders are like eagles. We don't have either of them here.

Motivation

If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job. The kind robots will be doing soon.

Persistence

It's over, man. Let her go.

Potential

Not everyone gets to be an astronaut when they grow up.

Success

Some people dream of success, while other people live to crush those dreams.

Teamwork

A few harmless flakes working together can unleash an avalanche of destruction.
