The Glade 4.0

LOL, that's **** up.

On a completely unrelated note, I'm currently trying to get my Super Duper Management Certification. I hear it looks great on a resume.

Just saw this poll, and being a business owner, I don't like either option. If it came down to it I'd have to lean towards the pay cuts, It's just hard to reward years of service like that but it's better then the other option.

History of the Condom
In 1272, the Muslim Arabs invented the condom, using a goat's lower intestine.
In 1873, the British somewhat refined the idea, by taking the intestine out of the goat first.

The basics of Six Sigma apply to everything and if you aren't already monitoring your deliverables by quantifiable metrics and constantly adjusting your process - it will teach you that you should. I also don't know why anyone outside of manufacturing would take anything more than some of the lean programs.

A few months ago we had layoffs that consisted of about 4%. I didn't get hit and honestly I wasn't worried about it until I heard some of the names. There is a lot of dead weight where I work. Some people that you wonder how they have jobs. I thought they would all be gone. Instead they are still there, and some good people were let go. One guy I could kind of understand, as he always told the truth and always spoke his mind. At an all-hands meeting, when they asked for suggestions on improving the project performance, stood up and said that there were too many managers and they needed to walk half of them out.

Anyway, my point is that many quality people were laid off, while some complete idiots were kept. So generally I'd say layoffs rather than paycuts, but I don't know if I can trust management to get rid of the right people.
