Work to make a living | Work to make a difference | Nope [1]
Follow explicit instructions | Chart the course | Depends on the role [2]
Juggle work and life | Harmonize work and life | Sounds like: never stop working
Commute into work | Connect to work from anywhere | Sounds like: never stop working
Value amazing perks | Value amazing people | I like people, even unamazing ones
I think only someone who has lost their sense of distinction between their work and their life can write these out as ideals. I.e. A startup founder.
[1] I am not knocking making a difference, but that isn't the organizational imperative of any business. And it is a dangerous delusion to say it is.
[2] I learnt a lot following orders at different times
Edits: not sure I'm going to figure this tabulation out
- bigdict 6y agoDon't worry about tabulation, you got the content right. The slide deck is a PR piece aimed at tricking people into giving more of their lives to corporate interests.

- Yetanfou 6y agoIt works if you use smaller fonts and rotate the thing into landscape mode.
- stuxnet79 6y agoAh, this is a useful abstraction I can point others to if they ever accuse me of being too cynical about some of these so-called values. Nothing wrong with promoting them but as a worker you have to be wise enough to read the fine-print and understand what's being signaled implicitly.
