Some day I plan to write a generic proposal for a generic product sold by Generic Corporation. In preparation, I collect content-free business puffery I find on the net. This is what you get when you click "Mission" on one corporation's home page:
Everything we do, everyday, underscores our collective dedication to this credo. Our objective is to earn the right to become our stakeholders’ vendor-of-choice, employer-of-choice, partner-of-choice, or investment-of-choice.
I am not making this up.
It takes a special view of the world to write such a buzzword-laden, self-centered, meaningless piece of tripe. Wow. I am in awe.
Before my Palm Pilot kicked up its legs & died, I had a Dilbert Mission Generator on it: you entered a company or department name, and it created a mission from basic business jargon...

Oh no, I googled a phrase and up it popped. http://www.replayhq.com/site/about/mission.html
