And yes, brands are no longer investing in building honesty and loyalty and honestly living by those factors as their internal CULTURE. It just about who looks, sounds and sells better and faster…

And whats worse, is working for such brands.

What happened to cultures like IBM?
I’m unsure if it has been broken, but it was infamous for its pure belief and implemented system from A-Z (marketing, products, designers, managers, politics, promises, delivery)

I guess were running short on Paul Rands and Thomas Watsons!
These people began working from the inside out. Now we just polish the OUT and keep polishing it as the IN slowly swallows itself.

Most people are no longer challenged because as you said in your “There is an I in Team” post, in Lebanon, people manage to stay shiny despite their space wasting talent. We induce this with our lack of motivation and challenge. and BELIEF!
And by the way, whats worse than space wasters is talent destructors. Some people spend most of their efforts shunning great talent for fear of losing their pseudo-successful mediocre input.
They don’t even acknowledge “TEAM”! SO how are they to even acknowledge the “I” (the productive “i”, not what they call “i”)?

oh and let me add, that i’m a very positive person ;p
but these things just get to me.
