Maybe I'm alone on this but I'm pretty desensitised to these posters as I've been exposed to them since national service. However, what I do find interesting and amusing to read in-between work are demotivational posters . For the new and uninitiated, here's an example:
Of course your HR department would never put these up around the office but hey, I seriously think it has a better effect since humor's a good way to help unwind while you're working on your deadlines.And here's my favourite list of demotivational messages:
- Apathy: If we don't take care of the customer,maybe they'll stop bugging us.
- Blame: The secret to success is knowing who to blame for your failures.
- Cluelessness: There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.
- 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.
- Mistakes: It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.
- Power: Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. But it rocks absolutely, too.
- Pressure: It can turn a lump of coal into a flawless diamond, or an average person into a perfect basketcase.
- Procrastination: Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.
- Worth: Just because you're necessary doesn't mean you're important.
