BURNOUT

If you have a (semi off-the-wall) sense of humor and work in an office that ranges in description anywhere from “Adult Day Care” to “Prison,” you might enjoy this.

Our office building is filled with inspirational pictures and “motivators”. You know the ones…

The beautiful lakes and streams of azure and cerulean blue, mixed with bright hues of gold and brilliant greens. One capitalized word stands out amongst the photo:

LEADERSHIP

Below, in smaller letters,

“We Make Way For the One Who Pushes Past Us.”

Don’t you feel inspired and motivated? I dig them!

Let’s try another.
Picture this: Gears and wheels of bright red and orange outlined in black and chrome with the word:

SYNERGY

"The strength of the team is in each individual member...
the strength of each member is in the team."

Here are some you may never see in an office. They are called ‘demotivators.”

Picture this:

Long matchsticks with blue, green, yellow or pink tips all huddles together in a tight, close-knit group. The middle match boasts the only flame. It reads:

BURNOUT
Attitudes Are Contagious. Mine Might Kill You

Now, picture a groups of zebras.

INDIVIDUALITY
Always remember that you are unique. Just like everybody else

And finally,

WORTH
Just Because You’re Necessary Doesn’t Mean You’re Important.
There are countless others. Find yours and laugh out loud at www.despair.com

You have the best sense of humor!

The funny thing is, if you try to access this site from the "real job", it's blocked. You can thank "my office" for that...
