No, people work pretty hard where I am so it makes more sense to give them free food, coffee, and nice computers so they spend less time grabbing that stuff and more time working.

We used to throw a big Christmas party of everyone, now we throw a big Christmas party for just the office. Manufacturing, production, and shipping all the minimum wage labor jobs? They don't get invited but they get the same 2 hour lunch before we all get told to go home early. So they throw a pot luck in the front dock, well a few years ago the CEO decided that was a great idea because it has a bunch of room and isn't used this time of year. So now there's a fully catered dinner with the CEO giving a speech and eating loving lobster and steak because he has to have the best food there. The office is eating a wide spread buffet of pretty decent stuff, and the underpaid people are eating home made rice and beans all in the same room. It's pretty hosed up to sit there. For extra  the office gets bonuses and then the CEO gives gift cards out of a fish bowl to the pot luck, then pretends he got "too many gift cards" every loving year and gives them to the office as well. We get it, you don't like poor people Mr. CEO. No reason to be a dick to them. (I'm in IT, and get invited to both parties so being in the same room is convenient for me).

Dolphin posted:Wait, so you have a company potluck where different tiers of people eat different food? How the gently caress does that work? No there's a catered lunch for the office that invaded the same space the main body of employees uses for their pot luck. Company pays in full for the office's party, everyone else is told to just have fun with a 2h lunch and do whatever, so they started their own thing. It's really hosed up. Imagine a giant loving dock with room to unload a multiple trucks without sorting any of it, now it's completely empty because we aren't taking in new stock. So it's 1 side of the room is office the other side is the actual work force that makes poo poo happen.

Is there security guards to prevent the lowly employees from eatting the catered food? Or like a rope separating the sections?

Over There posted:Back in the late 1980's, Toyota came up with this brilliant ideology of removing as much waste, or cost, in the process to deliver the best service to the customer. Since implementing that idea, Toyota grew substantially to the point that becoming lean was something that the public took notice to. Companies starting seeing that if they just start cutting costs on stuff that doesn't matter to them, they will make much more profit. Sounds like a win/win for them. Becoming lean was told to be the only way a company can be effective in today's market. Since then, companies from all different industries started this process, from banks, video game companies, insurance, ect. "Lean" is a derivative of "Lean Six Sigma" that started out as "Six Sigma" that a guy named Deming tried to pitch to american corporations back in the 1950s and they all laughed at him. He took it over to Japan (whose culture is entirely different from the US) and they adopted it. Once US corporations got all "we gotta be like the Japanese" they adopted it, not realizing that it was something that they poo poo on 40 years earlier. Three things about Lean/Six Sigma: 1. It's basically tailored to a manufacturing environment, but it seems like every company is trying to shoehorn it into their operations. 2. If you're going to be a "Lean" company, you need to structure your company that way, not just cherry-pick the parts of Lean/Six Sigma that sound good. 3. The Japanese companies (again a totally different culture) have been doing things this way for over 60 years. You can't just decide to be Lean, try it for a couple of months, and then just switch to the next new management fad that comes along. Source: I'm a Certified Six Sigma Green Belt.

lol good lord. I can see splitting up the meals by teams or what have you maybe based on scheduling or size concerns, but to not even give them a budget for theirs? That is hosed up.

I work for a financial service and insurance company that decided it wanted to be lean and it’s loving hilarious. They also decided at the same time that we need to “pivot” and “be like a tech start up” so it’s great seeing these half rear end attempts at small incremental changes and large massive ones clash constantly and resulting in nothing meaningful being accomplished.

There's a lot of tools in the bucket of lean six sigma that are specifically for discrete manufacturing and you can just throw those in the garbage if you aren't doing discrete manufacturing. That leaves the "hey idiot the scientific method works good to manage processes" pieces, which depending on your management is either "well we already do that, so what" or you don't already do that because management doesn't know how to manage beside from their gut and you probably aren't about to teach them but now you have reason to terminate when they can't certify so maybe you make out, I don't know.

Rutibex posted:why would anyone want to be like the Japanese? Their economy has been stagnant for like 30 years Most executives now got their start in the 80s when Japanese businesses were at their height so I think that has stuck in their minds despite the fact that it no longer is the case. Realistically I think everyone including the Japanese forgot the actual lesson of the 80s which was the Japanese automakers gained a poo poo ton of market share because their products worked better and were put together better than anything the domestics were making at the same price point and that’s why they were so popular. Lean manufacturing was just a means to refine out problems with an existing product line but it can’t fix a fundamentally flawed product to begin with.

Lean is splitting up a job that was done by 1 team/department and making department A do steps 1, 2 and 5 and department B steps 3, 4 and 6 of said job right? And make it difficult to communicate between department A and B so no-one really knows what has already be done and what still needs to be done? + 800 meetings/month? Because yeah, then I'm working for a lean company.

I am underpaid but company provides me with free Folgers coffee and biscottis so I guess it’s ok. What lovely Christmas gift did your companies give you people? I got a 50 dollar Home Depot card. Did I say Christmas? I meant holiday gift. We don’t do Christmas here, just a non denominational secular holiday celebration.

But I don't get to go, because I have a shift, a lucrative weekend shift! That's like 30% more pay! Even though it's a terrible evening shift for only 4 hours and I have to walk home through the bad part of Australia's most crime-ridden city at 3 in the morning, it's worth it! If I die or end up a vegetable because I get coward-punched, Lowtax can have my account.
