Oh, god, yes. I work for an oil exploration and production company. They made $660 million dollars last quarter. The mission statement isn't full of buzzwords; it's just loaded with ENORMOUS amounts of BS.
From the mission statement:
Our mission is to build a dynamic, global exploration and production company to provide oil and natural gas for the purpose of advancing the quality of human lives.
We will conduct our business from a foundation of integrity and respect for people, their cultures and traditions.
We derive benefit from the Earth and take our environmental responsibility seriously.
Profit from our growing business is the glue that unites XXXXX employees, partners, suppliers and shareholders in the fulfillment of our long-term mission.
Values
Conduct business with honesty and integrity.
Respect and invest in our greatest asset: our people.
Conduct business with respect for people, cultures and traditions.
Foster an entrepreneurial spirit; expect and reward innovation and creativity.
Drive to succeed with a sense of urgency. |

Business mission statements are nothing more than feel good rhetorics to make the customer feel important. The bottom line is that business has always been, and always will be, about the almighty buck. |

Almost every company I have worked for has come out with mission statements stating how important the people are who work for them. This is almost always followed by a massive layoff. |

I love the ones churned out by Dilbert's Mission Statement Generator (see link), such as -
"It's our responsibility to collaboratively engineer economically sound deliverables in order to enthusiastically initiate world-class content to set us apart from the competition"
Its fun to take phrases from dilbert's mission statement generator and see if any company has used them in real life.
Here's a real doozy from Callcentre Ltd. I found it by searching for 'proactively empower' on google -
"Do your existing service providers proactively empower your organisation with solutions, which directly assist your business in delivering its goals?
As a knowledge partner, Callstream brings an innovative and fresh perspective to the way in which organisations with contact centre environments communicate." |

If you're truly interested in developing a mission staement devoid of banalities, trite catchwords, and platitudes, then get hold of Principle Centered Leadership by Dr Stephen Covey. Covey Institute if you look them up online. That is how a mission statement can be develpoed that accurately reflects your goals and attitudes to whatever the group situation is whether it be family or work or divisions within your workplace. You ought not spend your time poking fun at others' attempts to get themselves focused in the right direction even if they are going about it in the wrong way. |

Hoe komt het toch dat je zĂł goed de engelse taal beheerst?
Ook door een amerikaans vriendje, zoals ik mijn amerikaans vriendinnetje heb? |

Jack Welch in his book the winning has mentioned the importance of Mission statement... I suggest that you should go through it |

Used to do. Try to move on when that starts.
yes it made sense - (non)sense, full of jargon and you could pick it up and throw it at the nearest other "quality-centric" organisation and it would work just as well. It was so memorable despite working their for years i cannot remember! Just tie together lots buzzwords and you'lle hit it eventually |

Yes in my place of work we do have a mission statement. It does make alot of sense, because of our residents in our Health Care Center.
