  1. Yep. And especially problematic when it's forced into an R&D environment. Try to force brilliant lab guys to make concepts fit into C&E matrices.
  2. Fuck Jack Welch and the "leaders" he spread like a cancer across the globe in the aughts. When one of his lackeys took over my former company Six Sigma became mandatory for everyone. It was really just a way to reduce headcount by putting the "right" people on the black belt path, but everyone had to complete green belt training & sit on at least 3 project charters that closed within 12 months or you'd be ranked low & job eliminated. Paranoid yes men were launching charters left & right to show how much they'd "embraced our new culture" which was bullshit because the company already had a century's worth of process improvement baked into its DNA. The black belts & master black belts would search out the high achievers & fight over the high profile charters that looked awesome on PowerPoint, but the yield was rarely more than 15% of what was advertised due to the bullshit math & fake numbers they were pushing. I had a colleague who ended up on a two month long project charter that amounted to eight people 5S'ing a reception area desk because their boss was in danger of not closing the minimum number of charters that year.

  3. Just wandering off in a daze, randomly saluting Japanese soldiers, and having to be coralled by PM Takaichi. But the way he attacked those two whole steps to climb up on the dais...he's the most fit POTUS ever!!!
  4. thread police/ This should just be a Christmas thread. November 1st is when someone posts the "Official Bitch About Your Families at the Holidays, 202x" edition.
  5. Duh. The stated $250mm price tag --which is already ridiculously overpriced--will easily balloon by 50% at least. With all of those overruns going directly into the projects of Trump Co.
  6. Daniels is spraying it around right now. If he's off Dallas could run away and hide.
  7. Addison working those out routes.
  8. Sweet grab by Hockenson. That's a touchdown.
  9. Ojomo down on the field. Looks like friendly fire hit to the head.
  10. Wentz's last 3 passes were pick 6, backwards out of bounds for -5 yards, and an INT. I thought I suffered enough last night.
  11. Fuck Philly. But I fear this might get ugly for MN.
  12. Yeah I binged the first 4 today & will fi ish it tomorrow. The shock on De Niro's face when he learns the inspiration for Johnny Boy was still alive was classic.
  13. You can't chase points in the first half.
  14. TD pigs!
  15. Ski-u-mah, you bug eating bitches.
