mjmooney Posted February 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Yeah, we used to have a boss a work who put those sort of puke-inducing posters up in the office - 'There is no "I" in the word "team"', that sort of thing. We struck back with some 'demotivators' like the one below. He didn't like it. No sir, not one bit. Edited February 5, 2021 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw the thread title I knew I’d find this in here. I’m impressed by how quick on the draw you were. By pure coincidence, I was just watching this earlier this evening after coming across it searching YouTube for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I’ve done work with some High Street retailers and they have these sort of ‘motivational’ posters on the staff side. Typically, in the staff room, a picture of a mountain with a slogan like ‘reach your peak potential’. Another one, was a mirror on the back of the door from staff area to shop floor with the slogan ‘this is what the customer sees.. make it your best’. I suspect that if I actually worked there, I would struggle not to indulge in petty vandalism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bannedfromHandV Posted February 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2021 Sharing a ‘motivational’ poster/quote is akin to having a ‘Live, Laugh, Love’ thing up in your house somewhere. Total nonsensical, wishy washy bollocks lapped up by imbeciles. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total nonsensical, wishy washy bollocks lapped up by imbeciles. I've got a fairly big Muhammad Ali poster framed with one of his quotes up on my bedroom wall, did the clinicians miss an imbecile diagnosis during assessment? I actually spend around thirty minutes to an hour of my day listening to motivational speakers and quotations from those considered greats throughout history. I find it nourishing. Never has it crossed my mind that I'd be considered an imbecile for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I truly am an imbecile, as I fail to see how that is so. There's nothing pragmatic about being miserable, however understandable a state of being for someone who's experiencing turmoil or tragedy. @Vive_La_Villa To answer a very old question you once asked me, yes, I do like stoicism as a philosophical outlook.
