Lean Thinking=Totalatarianism by: Devin Richards

i jut thought i would give my two cents on this new corporate mumbo jumbo called lean thinking. i work for a coffee company and i wont mention any names, but if your familiar with Battle Star Galatica you’ll get the reference. anyway i went into work about two weeks ago and my new training material for me and my fellow partners at work was this new corporate concept of lean thinking. As ususal i was agravated at the thought of having to do something else and not get paid the corresponding raise to compensate for it, bu thats just management for you. So as i watched the videos that explained this new concept of repeatable processes and taking the thinking out of work and just doing a the same thing over and over again i couldn’t help, but reference the book “1984″ George Orwell and think to myself “If you change the Past you can controll the Future”. this concept of the book stuck with me and then i remember the party memebers in the book and how they were and undereducated group of individuals and how they were so easily manipulated into thinking what big brother wanted, and then it dawned on me my company was the proverbial big brother and i was being manipulated into thinking this concept was good and that i ws making the company more money and i would keep my job, but at what cost? this whole new concept is a direct strike at individualsim and the right to perform accordingly to yourself and be personable, this new concept only allows the use of sacran tablets and overalls to infect us all sooner. the worst part is out of necessity i sat my partners down for a meeting and fed them this crap that in all honesty i didnt even want to swallow….now thats a social problem.
