Core values
A list of meaningless platitudes that companies post on their walls while simultaneously doing the exact opposite of everything they claim to believe in.
Examples
Examples:
- "Our core values include integrity, transparency, and respect." (while we fire people via email and hide our financial problems)
- "We live our core values every day." (except when they conflict with quarterly profits)
- "Our core values guide every decision." (especially the decision to ignore them when convenient)
