    You can't be arsed to read a document that's setting out your future? No wonder you voted "Remain", opting for the "status quo", too weak to make a stand. Brave Sir Robin ran away!

      It is only setting out my future from your paranoid perspective.

        My perspective has a direct impact on the contents of the European Parliaments Vision document?

        I obviously wield far more influence than I thought.

          We got a new MD last year - he had a vision we were going to increase sales by 50%

          We didn't

          He is no longer here.

          It's only a shame no one in the EU is held accountable.

            It is not the content I was questioning, but its impact. If you want to spend your time reading vision documents and working yourself into a masturbatory frenzy, go ahead.

              No one? I take it you missed the last European elections?

                Just because you say something is ironic, doesn't mean it is. There is a song that proves that case in point ...you should check it out fella

                Unfortunately, you brexiters really do have an inferiority complex and act like victims. Seems everyone is out to get you It's not true, well, not for all of you anyway ..... if I was oPM I'd want to sleep with the light on and one eye open just in case
                I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter man

                  Victims? Anything but. We're moving towards an independent state and we're not afraid to stand up and be counted.

                  Now, you obviously don't wish to be part of the solution so why not go and find yourself a nice safe little bolthole?

                    "We" .... your limited company or the client you're providing services for? Sounds like you could be a disguised employee

                    Re your statement on the MD and the vision statement ..... I'd be very surprised if the vision statement included something like "increase sales by 50%", and it certainly wouldn't be the aim to achieve this in 12 months. Either you're talking tosh, or the MD was removed for a completely different reason. Vision statements are by their very nature long term views and may say something like "Be the number 1 company in this market" etc - I remember when I worked for Turner Broadcasting, their vision was to beat Disney (internally there was a cartoon or Mickey being shot that had been mocked up - it wasn't an official company picture but it did nicely sum up the vision of Turner)

                    Anyway, I digress .... as you don't seem to understand what a vision statement should look like, try this doc https://www.executestrategy.net/wp-c...statements.pdf

                      Tch should have said client co...

                      Ok right so a few things to clear up

                      Vision Statements are bollocks - they are made up by junior exec's to try and impress senior exec with their ability to 'live and breathe' the company. Any under junior exec does not think these things are worth wiping their arse on.

                      Understand that the vast majority of people go to work to earn money not to part of some jumped up prick's vision (which will only be for 2 years until they fook off somewhere else)

                      Also understand that most people do not have 'brand loyalty' nor do they buy into your vision statement.

                      Most people will use a company to purchase a certain thing at a certain time - that is the beginning and the end of the relationship.

                      I know there are people who love Apple and have completely bought into that brand but the reality is they are simple somewhat delusional about the impact it is having on their lives

                      In reality a vision statement is just a collection of words designed to make someone appear clever and involved when in reality they are simply empty words and hot air which account for nothing.
