| I agree. Integrity is mostly subjective. It has two meanings: 1. the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. 2. the state of being whole and undivided. Some Christians would consider anti-homosexuality as a model for integrity, and how can you argue with that? They in fact are protecting integrity of the Bible. They are at least honest about it. When something is said, it needs to be put in correct context. What Warren Buffet was talking about probably meant loyalty, honesty, and consistent work ethnics and attitude. It should be clearly stated in order to have an objective measurement. Also, I find organizations putting Integrity as part of their motto distasteful. I don't know, maybe I just don't like any kind of mottos... These things are just generically "good." They don't mean shit when just posted on the wall. Might as well post something like "I'm good, trust me" or "don't be evil." I agree with Mitt Romney - corporations are people. He's right. Both are inherently hypocritical. Never trust what a person says, even yourself, do good and be good. Actions speak the loudest. Seriously, fuck those posters! I hate them so much. |
If you have to officially state that integrity is something you value, you've already lost.
That it was part of a scummy company's "values statement," after they "merged" with my great company -- selling the deal to shareholders on a CEO deal they broke after a year, and then breaking up the company and selling it all off to float their drowning businesses -- was PARTICULARLY galling.
