founders Bill Hewlett and David Packard were so customer trusting and had such probity that it revolutionized corporate america and empowered startups to bootstrap from nothing. if they saw what became of their reputation they would've forced a name change. thanks Carly Fiorina for destroying an amazing institution. I hope your resume refuses to scan.
They were engineers, and made stuff they liked and were proud of, and it showed. When they exited the leadership roles, the MBAs took over and it was all downhill from there.
You know, I’m starting to have a stronger dislike of MBAs than I do lawyers. Even though lawyers were the traditional wiping boys.
Lawyers get a bad rap. If you are ever falsely accused of a crime, you're going to really wish you had a lawyer.
MBAs are agents of decay and corruption.
Being falsely accused of a crime really isn't much of a problem until a lawyer is complicit in the accusation. False accusations usually end early in the investigation unless the accuser is coached on how to tailor their accusation to fit the law. Your lawyer is solving problems that only exist because of lawyers.
Let's not forget that "politician" is just a fancy term for a lawyer who hates working with clients.
MBAs are, indeed, agents of decay and corruption, but they only play on a field that was designed and built by lawyers.
Accusers don’t prosecute crimes, the state does.
It’s amazing how so many MBAs can tank a business. I’m seeing the same thing in my organization: as the number of people who have ever worked in the field decreases relative to the MBAs, things get worse, in both cultural and functional ways.
Half the PMs in my company have MBA degrees and they're all morons.
Want to cosplay as a person with a MBA from Wharton?
Snort a bunch of coke, drive a expensive car you bought with loan money and micromanage while vaguely gesturing and quoting Wolf of Wall Street
Whoda thunk the difference between current me and successful me is a hatred of sniffly noses and a preference for sci-fi.
You still see a lot of businesses today using HP lasers from as early as 1990. Crazy that operating systems today still support some seriously old printers. It's also remarkable how good HP used to be before right around the time they merged with Compaq.
