I’ve got an idea: When you’re trying to motivate people, don’t try to promote the concept of “Teamwork” by showing something that was built by slaves at the whim of a despot, which killed millions of the people involved in its construction, and which failed miserably at its design goal. Just sayin’.

HEY! How did you get under my desk?
That exact print is there.
“Someone” had stuck a post-it on it noting that this “teamwork” consisted of millions of slaves dying, then that “someone” complained to the department head who said take it down and do whatever with it. It’s been whatevered under my, or “someone’s” desk ever since (years now).
I should put something else in the frame and rehang it.

I too want to see a lovingly crafted passive-aggressive note.

I put a post-it note containing almost exactly what I wrote above on it, but the post-it note got removed pretty quickly.
