You need more industry experience
You need to have experience managing a team
It’s out of my control
We care, we’re listening
We have a sustainable perspective
Our interests are aligned
People are our most important asset
Open plan is for open communication
We have a long term strategy
We serve our shareholders first
We put our customers first
We put our employees first
We have a lot of first places… ?

“Your family comes first”
Particularly promoted by corporations whose employees feel compelled to work 14 hour days.
