Workplace Motivation is Overrated

I'm sure you've seen these "demotivational" posters before. Since I've been out of the corporate ratrace for a while, I had almost forgotten about them, until a catalog showed up in our mailbox last week.

Despair, Inc. has a great schtick going; their catalog is a hoot ("Operators are waiting to take your money." Motto: "Motivational posters don't work. But our Demotivational™ posters don't work even better." Even their logo is funny — :-(

Poster from Despair.com: Consulting

Being in the consulting scam profession myself, I was partial to this poster. But you really need to visit the webpage on which it's featured, and check out some of the "Perfect For..." links. And their "Corporate Spin" section is great, too.

Sounds like a cool place to work. Wonder what's hanging on their walls?

A friend of mine showed me that site several years ago and I love it! When we taught an English class focused on Business Communication, we used several of their posters.
