"individuals and interactions" is how you make great things happen. "processes and tools" is how you make boring things happen at scale and with high quality.
very few teams are willing to admit that they need to be making boring things happen.
The Agile manifesto is entirely about making boring things happen for loosed integrated teams. It was created by a forum of consultants that wrote CRUD for random companies.
It is certainly not universal. As an example, if you want to make something great, it has absolutely no relation to your problem.
12K? What is that 5 to 7% of the total employment.
Just don't hire for 120 days. Accomplish the same results and you don't even need to make a press release.
Layoffs make it easier to get rid of underperforming people without having to file too much paperwork, so it probably has a better effect on the median employee quality to do layoffs instead of a hiring freeze.
Easier but not better.
If you have a performance problem, there is a process in place to to deal with it. Not easy, but it gives the employee notice and the opportunity to improve. Vs. Gone.
dallas / ft worth you pay about $125 an hour for shop labor.
lot's of places have a placard with a $200 rate, but they never charge that much. (replaced headlights, they broke a wire, spent all morning on the car, cost was $250 in labor).
at least my experience, dealing with independents. i am sure a dealer has no shame on the rate and the hours.
I know that you are trying to make a point, but I think meth would be a viable treatment option for some people. Medically supervised and monitored. If you need to lose 100 lbs, it might be worth the other tradeoffs. For a short period of time.
