> Also, I find organizations putting Integrity as part of their motto distasteful.

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.

Exactly. It's like explictly stating that you're "a people person". There mere act of saying it indicates that you're probably not[1].

[1] Unless you're unbelievably naïve, I suppose, but I don't want unbelievably naïve people working for/with me.
