Archived Need a mission statement

[Formina Sage]

Yeah I'm not posting this in the site-related area because the most traffic is here and I want maximum input.

I'm drafting a mission statement for the site; just something simple so we know what we're about and we can speak to our existence should anyone from corp ever wonder why we're around. Yes - that's a low-profile scenario but I feel like there's no harm in having one.

This is what I have so far

The Break Room is a gathering place for past and present team members to ask, answer, commiserate, and grow; the team spirit we develop here enables high-quality partnerships in our work.

What do you think? I'm open to any and all feedback.

Nice start but a tad long winded.

"The Break Room is a communications hub for team members, past or present, that let's us develop our skills and spirit."

To corporate: it's either here, or all over Facebook where everyone and their mother can see it. Your call.

The Break Room, it's here for long sessions of drinking and screaming into the dark night?

The breakroom; the place that keeps me from going postal.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Same here. I will get back to you.

The Breakroom: to teach, to learn, to vent & everything in between.

The breakroom is a unofficial community for past, current or future team members to seek a variety of work related or off the clock topics. The community helps deliver team spirit and high quality partnerships for all members.

I think it’s crucial to have unofficial in there somewhere.

The Unofficial Breakroom Confessional for Target Team Members without it we all would go postal.

Jesus, holy thread bump.

Mission Statement?
The first step in taking away the fun of this site.

Those times when you hope that if you quote someone they will drop by the site to find out what's going on.

Would like to have seen Talan make short work of he-who-shall-not-be-named.

 

[BigEyedPhish]

An off-the-clock community, where people volunteer time, to give advice, or ask for it. A place where someone can ask anonymously for help, in an ever evolving retail market, and a place for those who have lived it, to give it.

. The part, where we all end up being employees of target, is a coincidence of their own business culture. After all, every business has a break room.
