Oddly enough, there are lots of people who truly believe in this "10 core values" pap. I once was going through my annual review cycle at Microsoft, grumbling about having to go through the useless exercise of documenting how I live up to completely generic "core values" like "integrity" and I bitched to my wife about it. She works in social services and was appalled that I could be so cynical and didn't find this sort of guidance helpful. We finally had to agree to disagree on whether the whole concept was mindless garbage. I mean, come on, when "excellence" is one of your core values, you might as well just say "we like things that are good." Big thumbs up, Mickey.
