Out of curiosity, do you know your company's mission statement? Does it matter to you, or do you care at all about it? Does anyone actually pay attention to them?

I have no idea what ours is, I'm guessing it's very generic corporate speak about embracing creativity, fostering innovation, doing good, blah blah blah. I don't pay any attention to this sort of thing.

Yeah I would be because I’ve literally never seen anyone give a shit

I've never once thought about the company's mission statement. I may think about it in an abstract way but I'm not going to a company's website and reading their mission statement in order to determine if I would work for them or anything like that. I go off of reputation and the type of work I'd be able to do while there more than anything.

I did my first degree in business and there’s this part where an employee has to balance the company’s mission statement and vision without personal vision to create a synergy for general growth. I actually looked forward to learning the mission statement of wherever I get to work. I’m interning in a place where it has never crossed my mind to check or know their mission statement, it’s probably because it’s a temporary thing

When I worked at Slalom, that was the first place I ever saw stuff like this and the core values referenced in everything they did.

If someone I interviewed brought up our mission statement, I would think that was weird and sus 99% of the time. Let’s be real. We’re here for money

Some companies are painfully cringeworthy and probably have other red flags

Not a clue

It stopped mattering when it’s a conglomerate like Amazon Google Microsoft. Maybe 1 trick ponies can have a relevant mission statement. How about Salesforce?

It's Shareholder Valu-- I mean... Trust... Customer Success....

Hey Fishes,

I have an MBA from the University of Chicago, not that it matters much in sales. I have always been in a consulting role but I think I can make more in sales. I have a competitive personality and I am bored.
