       @pluralistic After listening to the Behind the Bastards episodes about Jack Welch I kind of want to find his grave and piss on it.  You can imagine how I feel about current events.

       @pluralistic Is there anything that Jack Welch touched that he didn't ruin?

       @burdickjp @pluralistic Even his book had the anti-Midas touch. His book was considered "required reading" for C-suite executives back in the 90s. And every executive who read it and implemented any of his stupid ideas ended up harming their own companies, often without any awareness of the damage they'd caused until it was too late.We'd hear of some stupid new policy and knew "the board's been reading 'Jack' again." It was that obviously bad.

       @targetdrone @burdickjp @pluralistic Inspired by Welch, went through a version of Six Sigma at Sun Microsystems that was called Sun Sigma internally. Software project I was on was forced to run as a Sigma project. Wasted so much time trying to figure out to develop a software feature following that process. Then Oracle bought Sun and cancelled the project (Rock Processor and Supernova Platform). So, yeah, Sun got Jacked.
