Not “recently”, but I built up a pile of “-isms” over the years, typically about jobs, the workplace, managers, etc.
Eg,
The best way to turn someone into a clockwatcher is to force him to act like one.
or
Never ever ever underestimate the power of even the slightest convenience... nor the *negative* power of the slightest *inconvenience*.
things like that.

Not recently, but here it is.
Never do a bad job well.
Not my phrase really, but I’ve certainly had to live through the results:
Never become irreplaceable in whatever job you hold; that way you become unpromotable.
Which makes it harder to get out of that bad job…
Never put off until tomorrow what others can do for you today.

And yet many do!
Although science isn't perfect, I'm a big fan of it, and science is getting better and better every day.
