Who knew despair could be so funny?
Take a look at Despair.com. They make calendars, posters, mugs, and other typical office stuff that at first glance appears to be that inspirational crap. Look closer and see reality in a slightly cynical light. Examples (all copyrighted by Despair.com):
"Get to Work You aren't being paid to believe in the power of your dreams."
"Cluelessness There are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots."
"Motivation If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job...the kind robots will be doing soon."
They have a mug with a line halfway down that says "This mug is now half empty."
They have conversation hearts that say, "SETTLE 4LESS", "TABLE FOR 1", and my favorite, "U C MY BLOG?"
Their current hot item is a book by the boss that seems to be serious. Read the excerpts. He actually suggests that employees are not motivated by "increasing shareholder value" but by purely selfish reasons. Management heresy!
