    OMG!!!

    Do people really work for companies that think that is motivational. I'm not sure whether that says more about the Microsoft or the people that work for them. (N)

    My favourite comment:

    "It is stunning that someone can take the concept of Bruce Sprinsteen and successfully manage to make it worse.

    This is so bad, I think its given me cancer. "

    I would say That cant possible be genuine

    But I've worked for several American companies

    One had "the inner circle of trust" to motivate the sales force - if you were included you got to go on team building weekends, but couldnt go if you didn't meet your quota.Apparently that was to encourage you to succeed

    RE: I would say That cant possible be genuine

    When I worked at Asda head office, and this was before Walmart took over, they tried to introduce a company chant....didn't last long!

    Part of it I recall being along the lines of

    "Who do we serve?"

    "THE CUSTOMER"!

    I am told that at one company

    in the South all company meetings from Board level to team briefings are started with prayers. Very difficult to cope with when you are just over there for board meetings or employes going for company familiarisation training.
