And we all know dumb ideas lead to layoffs. How many people lost their jobs to six sigma?

The open office crap is a joke. Doesn’t work at all much like open classrooms of the 1970s. This crap is cyclical
I sat next to this six sigma chick in the office. She would turn up twice a month and work three hours then bail.
Most worthless people out there.
IMHO, Lean Six Sigma eficionados within the corporate world are merely chart monkeys, proudly and, ignorantly, to the point of silliness, aimlessly running around like young children with their colored belts that, immaturely, mimic some prepubescent, ten-year-old’s martial arts level, people have no concept of the permanent damage they’re doing as they ignorantly and blindly financially cut the legs out from under required and viable functionalities until those enterprises are so hobbled by sigma goofs that they’re now beyond repair.
Personally, I would feel like a giant loser schmuck if there were any mention of an LSS credential on my resumé or LinkedIn profile.
And, when you point this out to those chart monkeys, that their efforts have destroyed everything and ended up costing more money through their shortsightedness, their kneejerk defense is that it wasn’t administered right (much Like the days of yore when, after losing a patient, the medical practitioner in the dark ages ignorantly blamed the outcome on NOT ENOUGH leeches and diuretics being administered in order to balance out the four humors).
This universal widespread corporate quackery has been going on far too long unchallenged by its disciples and practitioners.
Put these knuckleheads to pasture already, before it’s too late.
The open office fad, is flat out stupid.
Only 40% of the people show up. Most work from home.
It is loud, and terrible.
