Loving, giving, honest

I once worked at a company where the manager in charge of core values presented them to us with these words:

“One of our values could be loving ... but it isn’t. One could be giving ... but it isn’t. One could be honest ... but it isn’t.”

Everybody laughed, since the idea of us being those things was ridiculous. For me, though, a loving, giving and honest company was exactly what I wanted to be a part of.

Maybe I’m too soft for business life?
