It’s official - I work in a Dilbert cartoon. Today while walking from my little corner of the cube farm to the rest rooms I came across this little gem:
All that’s needed now is for the powers that be to attempt to start motivating people by giving us tchotchkesuseless crap that they shouldn’t be spending money on that we can then hand out to our colleagues as a reward for teamwork or some other such inanity.
They must think we’re halfwits. I can just imagine the conversation some genius had:
Jim: “Hey Bob, I’ve got this great idea! Let’s put up posters that say things like ‘My Co-workers Rock!’, and ‘Have you hugged your teammate today?!’ and other shit like that!”
Bob: “Brilliant! And we can do them in different fonts and highlight some letters to make them look all avant-garde! And we can fuck with their minds by putting little ‘Bravo!’ slogans at the bottom of the posters!”
Jim: “Right! Right! And then we can hand out fake awards and tchotchkes and stuff! And the inmates, ummm, team members will feel like they’re getting rewarded. Yeah!”
Bob: “And we can fuck with them even more by just printing shit out on a printer and making it look all ghetto. Like it’s an underground movement or something!”
Jim: “Brilliant!”
Who does shit like this? Seriously. I wanna know, because I want their job.
Stay tuned for episode 2 of “The Dilbert Chronicles - The Motivational Poster Exposed” …

You are expert.
Hey…at least your mission statement isn’t painted on the walls (crooked, no less) and posted in every cube/room/office in the building.
That is what they do in the public school system.
You know what cracks me up about you? You use words like “tchotchkes” in everyday conversation. Like, anyone else would have said “useless crap that we shouldn’t be spending money on”, and instead you say “tchotchkes.”
Not only dig the geek use the word “tchotchkes”, he looked up the correct spelling!
