Susan Cramm++. Very true. And in a related vein ... "We'll give you anything you want to help you develop. As long as it's exactly what we wanted to give you in the first place. And thinking about it ... we'll give it to you even if you do not want it." That's what my soon-to-be-former employer used to do.

Plus it distributed a boasting colorful virtual brochure or two each month, sent a dumb looking figure 'round the world through all the offices and took photos of people looking equaly dumb standing around leering like idiots, planned outdoor team-(de)b(u)ilding events (that I luckily skipped), allowed us to analy self-assessss ourselves twice a year and painted the walls pink. Erm. sorry, I'm exagerating. Red, purple, green, blue, yellow and orange.

Sorry, I had to vent. They did not retain me in the end. Even though I hate any change of place.
