Employees Lash Back at Six Sigma

Employees of 3M filed suit against the company charging age discrimination because the leadership targets people under 45 for Six Sigma training. See this news article for more information:

Maybe 3M thinks it just can't afford to train workers who will retire in a decade or two before their investment in Six Sigma can pay off. Customers using the Six Sigma Simplified approach can easily achieve dramatic improvements in six months or less.

Another recent release from employees in Caterpillar sited Six Sigma as a way to dumb-size jobs, slash wages, and reward leaders and investors.

Ouch!
