Ah, you forgot this one: We are always looking for creative people.

Yeah, right. The first time an employee has an original or creative idea, bam! They get laughed at or shelved. Do it two or three times and suddenly that "creative" person is noted as "not a team player," "not aligned with our core values," or worse.

If you know anything whatsoever about creativity you know the corporate world will crush you like a bug under your shoe.
