motivation

A reason why employees across the world don't work any harder. If somebody works as hard as they can, they don't get paid another dime. It's a problem of motivation.
Peter Gibbons: The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.

Bob Porter: Don't... don't care?

Peter Gibbons: It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime, so where's the motivation?

motivation check

A chant used in many military branches to augment the "motivation," or spirit of a particular unit. Used notably in many JROTC groups during roll call @ drill meets, athletic tournaments, etc., such a ubiquitous pattern of speech invokes an instinctive human aggression in said unit.

The motivation check, though at times may appear facetious, panders to our need for something funny to say, but in reality allows us to lose our individuality to achieve a collective identity.
"(insert unit here), MOTIVATION CHECK!"

Highly motivated,
Truly dedicated.
Rough, tough, lean, mean.
Motivated, motivated, motivated, (RANK)!
Dedicated, dedicated, dedicated, (RANK)!
I want PT, (rank), I love PT!
I like it, I love it, I want more of it!
Move like lightning, sound like thunder,
We put the enemy six feet under,
(COMPANY)! Move fast, move quick,
Now break it on down like you just won’t quit!
Hooah!
Hooah!
HOOAH!

demotivationalizer

An asswipe from any corporate headquarters obstensibly sent in to raise the bottom line, but is actually an un-fireable loser being transfered (and promoted) just to get rid of him/her.
This demotivationalizer they sent in from back east is the biggest demotivationilizer in the history of business enterprise. They musy have dumped him/her on us to get him out of their way without pissing off his/her daddy.
