Unfortunately, my company asked me to remove the stickers, as they don’t reflect the company…

When I got an internship at Amazon, I (ironically) plastered my cubicle with all the leadership principles ("LP's"), in over-happy fonts. But the leadership did not realize I was being tongue-in-cheek, and I suspect my cubicle decorations had a significant positive impact on my success there, lol. In the end I even started to believe the LP's, so maybe they knew something I didn't.

Hilarious! You faked it and then you made it! Love it.

I put a framed picture of the leadership principles on my desk for much the same reason, with a similar reaction.

As corporate principles in general go, they were decent, but frequently they were used to excuse poor behavior, so... Yeah.
