"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where... their ID cards are delivered in a timely manner, without errors."

Posted by on Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 11:52 AM

This memo went out to the customer service reps at a large insurance company—Anthem Wellpoint—last Thursday afternoon.

So... basically... work like hell getting those orders right—or Martin's dream will die.

Make sure not to quote too much of the I Have a Dream speech or the money grubbing King family will be after you for royalties! Yep, that shit is COPY RIGHTED.

What a wonderful hypocritical world we live in.

I Have A Dream...

... that the coffee in the lunchroom would be of a higher standard

... that you'd quit making us make excuses to customers for your for asinine policies

... that one day you'd judge a healthcare plan not by its rock-bottom cost to the company but by the quality of the care provided to your employees.

... that you management fuckers would give us office peons a raise now and then.

... that you'd quit emailing this condescending crap

Where's your sense of compassion?
Without inter-company rah-rah memos what would the inbreds who write them to boost your morale and motivation do for a living? Times are tough.
Don't be a hater.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they can freely troll SLOG and proselytize for the conservative Christian worldview without getting ruthlessly attacked by heathen liberal cocksuckers like Dan Savage.

But alas, that dream keeps getting thwarted by the liberal hypocrites who populate SLOG, moral cesspool that it is.
