Never required but ppl sometimes believe in your more when you are a six sigma black belt

He's getting the six sigma black belt certification now but doesn't know if his project for it will finish by the time he wants to leave his company (they tend to drag on six sigma projects for years) so technically he won't have the certification even though he did all of the requirements for it.

At least he has green belt certification (or should). Wha company is your friend with and what's the rush? See if he can drive the process and help accelerate it.

It's not necessary but does help with credibility.

If he hasn't had any actual consulting experience having a recognized credential will help tremendously.

Hello, I am a junior business administrator working in advisory operations. I have been with the company for 6 months, and was employed along with 2 other colleagues. I have picked the job up really fast and am even doing some “extra curricula’s” I really love my job. However I have recently found out I am being paid the same as an apprentice on my team, I usually do at 3 x the work he does whilst also doing my Cert CII. It has really disheartened me and I feel I should be earning more money

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
