Beating Unnecessary Layoffs

Beating Unnecessary Layoffs Being a Six Sigma professional, one could compare me to a carpenter with a hammer - yes, everything looks like a nail! Besides the lack of organizational efficiency and effectiveness and external forces which depend on unsustainable resources, such as oil, where else have we been short-sighted?

Be Selective About the Personal Information You Share

Do you discuss personal matters with your co-workers and reveal complicated details that could later not serve you well?

It's kind of hard sometimes not to. After all, these are the people with whom you spend at least eight hours a day, five days a week. You're practically living with them - you spend more time with your co-workers than you do with your own family.
