Misguided Management Philosophies - Anonymous employee Qorvo Employee Review

Attempt at following so called LEAN principles means wringing too much work out of too few people. Obsession with "continuous improvement" results in breaking processes that are working, trying to fix that which does not need fixed. Managers speak as if they are attending a buzzword laden seminar 24/7, insisting on referring to problems as "opportunities," lacing every discussion with needless jargon. Humans are reduced to numbers and myopic profit is the primary motivation at this company rather than employee well being or even advancement of the industry. There is extreme inequality in the distribution of effort. Some employees are granted an enormous amount of free time while a plethora of tasks minor and major have been delegated to an increasingly stressed out few. Not unusual to see a couple of employees sweating while the majority are doing nothing but engaging in casual banter and non-work related conversations.
