[datasuspect]

1. provide solutions

2. vertically integrate horizontal synergies

3. think outside the box

4. "make a home run" in a work setting not related to baseball

5. execute key strategies in concert with core principles

6. consistently provide deliverables in realtime environments

[Deja Q]

1. #3 is totally wrong. Creativity is wrong. Conform. Don't think.

Then it's turned around and everybody's called 'dumb' as an excuse to offshore... :D

[datasuspect]

4. "thinking outside the box"

as a concept used in the corporate setting has very little to do with creativity.

it would be more accurately described as: "you may think, but do so in a manner consistent with established procedures and in such a way that you do not cast an unfavorable light upon your direct supervisor or the persons to whom he or she reports."

2. hell, no wonder i am in trouble

14. I'm in trouble too...

but I think it's because I used the box to mail rancid espresso beans to Seattle headquarters and told my boss at my review that I deserved a $40K raise because I am better at my job than her bosses' bosses' boss is at his and he got a $25K raise. :shrug:

3. I don't want to go to the next level

or move forward.

9. I love that site.

You've inspired a spin-off thread...

[NightWatcher]

10. I also never want to: "Touch Base"

I cannot be an independent thinker and a team player at the same time.

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. The "team".

Next time my evil supervisor mentions the word "team", I want to ask him if he means the Cubs or the White Sox.

:evilgrin:

[thefool_wa]

12. Ah, the ANTI-mission statement

I don't want to provide real time customer management solutions - but I do anyways :(

[femmocrat]

13. I don't want to shift my paradigms.

They are just fine where they are, thank you.
