Lol, my last workplace tried to half rear end six sigma and lean and whatever the other similar one was, but 'didn't have the resources' to actually implement all of it so all that happened was I spent four hours a week doing meetings about what we could do to improve our efficiency and then making spreadsheets to show how since we haven't actually done anything our numbers weren't changing I hated that job so I give six sigma and lean two thumbs up

I'm assuming we have some ITIL people in here somewhere, it's basically the same idea but with a different name. A set of guidelines to follow for successful working. It was a loving THREE DAY course too and on the first day when I opened the little book I stated that it's all well and good telling us we need to do things in a certain way, it's just never going to loving happen. I'm currently looking at a thread posted on our department's Teams group which talks about "the Netflix way of working" if you've ever wondered about how loving deluded the upper management is in this place. The thread under it is basically just full of people saying it would be lovely to get to that point but management simply isn't listening to people and them listing off the various people in their little teams that have left or are leaving. It's an interesting time here, either poo poo changes or everyone is eventually just going to gently caress off and leave.

davebo posted:Yeah but fewer than 4,000 were ever sold in the US, so how many people ever drove one? Seems like there's always been a lot of nostalgia for a model of a car people just wish they had because they maybe had or knew someone who had the 140hp one. A modern base Integra was never going to reclaim the reputation of the type R with all the weight of modern cars, even if it had two doors and looked decent. I assume if the new one isn't a roaring success then they'll never try to make a type R of this anyway. The DC itself was an excellent chassis, as was the DA. The were probably the best FWD compacts of their time.

Both my DAs had 130 ('90) or 140 ('92) HP. They were GS models.

I get why it's a sedan I guess but at the same time, the actual Integra sedan never sold that well. It was dropped completely for the final generation. In my country (Canada) the sedan sold so poorly that it was dropped after the 1996 model year, replaced by the Honda Domani based EL. Also the DC Integra sedans look weird.

6S, Lean, Scrum etc always fail because management want to say they have implemented it but don’t want to spend the time investing to have any real improvements. They put it on their CV and move on then the next set of managers will try something else and do the same. Most of my experience is with Agile/Scrum which really is just a way for managers to try and get more work done in less time. Oh we have monthly or quarterly releases? Well why don’t we just do a release at the end of a two week sprint? Maybe because the scope of the work being asked for takes more than two weeks to do so you end up still doing releases in the same schedule but with an added layer of bullshit.

I have ended up scrum master at a couple different companies now, and I would say 80% of my job as scrum master is trying to keep management from implementing scrum in ways that hurts the team. Like my last company every Monday morning we had four separate hour long status meetings where the entire team had to attend with different management groups, just to report the exact same status to different people. Oh and the meetings had 30 minute to hour gaps in them which meant you couldn't really be productive in between them as well. Just by cutting out those meetings I improved team productivity by like 20%. And don't even get me started on the hour and a half daily standups and the policy of not being able to work on the same part of the code base for two consecutive stories.

Had a manager tell me, in a annual review, that I didn't get emotional enough about work or something about how I had boundaries between work and life outside of the office. He was a very bad manager. We also had a long period of not much work since when a canceled project put us in a circling pattern waiting for a new project. There were adjacent teams that needed help here and there and I would ask the same manager weekly for more work or something to do. He'd tell me to "sit tight, stuff is coming" and it never would. In that following annual review he told me that I didn't seek out enough work independently. Management tried to implement scrum for one chip we were designing and the amount of status checking and meetings was detrimental to actually accomplishing any work.

That is my experience of almost every implementation of Scrum ever. Eventually it goes to having a daily standup and a retro/planning meeting every two weeks that the developers go to and me pushing on the clients who refused to pay for project/product management that they need to provide requirements and groom the backlog as they said they would.

The 5.0 taking the least reliable diesel crown from the 6.0 powerstroke is just the icing on the cake. At least the 6.0 can be bulletproofed. Nobody is ever going to bother making a strong crank for the 5.0.

Why do you think Google, Facebook, etc have all those job perks like free meals any time of day, on-site gym, showers, laundry, rec room, nap pods, taskrabbits to go to the store for you, yada yada? They certainly don't just want you to be happy. They want you to never feel the need to go home.

I worked somewhere that provides lunch and a bunch of other stuff. Almost everyone would go get their food and go back to their desk and keep working. They had breakfast stuff so people would come in early and have breakfast at work as well. As stated it is not about providing stuff for employees it is to make people come in earlier, stay at their desk all day and stay later. I used to make a point about taking a lunch break and some managers didn’t like it but gently caress ‘em.

I worked at a place once that had a "no lunches at desks" policy to combat exactly that, but I realise how insanely lucky I was at the time (early 2010s) and I doubt very much such a thing exists anywhere these days.

Yeah, he was a piece of poo poo. The manager I had prior to him was awesome and gave me a promotion as well as a set of goals or milestones to get the next paygrade/promo in 1-2 years. I met those goals, but in the meantime the cool manager took a voluntary severance package and retired-- and I got moved to this guy who didn't give a poo poo about meritocracy and dicked me around explaining promos required "time in service". Cool manager rode motorcycles and would do ADV stuff-- and when I bumped into him while trying to rent a Home Depot truck to transport some plywood, he offered to haul it to my house instead.

Pimp-style management for the one-and-twenty. If you treat your employees like property for long enough, they'll start to think that they're property too.

Throatwarbler posted:Why do people care so much about their employers? I just the bare minimum to not get fired. Well there is a pretty big difference between bare minimum guy and live, laugh, love the Kool-Aid guy. A lot of the kind of stuff like certifications or being a scrum master and all that is not just to make your employer happy but can look good on a resume if you don't feel like the company your working for is not doing something as efficiently or if you have a boss/manager that is not quite up to par and you'd like to move on to something else. In all of the certification courses I have gone to the instructors make a point of telling everyone that the cert is not for your company, it is for YOU. Put it on your resume, it does not go away if you leave just because they paid for it.
