Do people learn to be this way at business school?
Even the military, where there are actually life-or-death stakes, isn’t this cutthroat about talent management.
- tharne 2y ago> Do people learn to be this way at business school? Yup. I've found the the core material in the curricula for most business schools and MBA programs is a excellent resource on what not to do while working in business, or really anywhere for that matter. It's almost as if they've decided to round up all the worst ideas and put them in one place, so you know to avoid them.

- exceptione 2y agoGreat points in this thread. Now it would be interesting to know what bodies sets the curricula, what language gets selected. There is some feedback loop here. An other thought exercise: would be it be possible to change narratives in these strata, or did the Overton Window shift too much already?
- s1artibartfast 2y agoWhat is "this way"? I didn't see anything really shocking here. PIP workers and those fired are no longer eligible for internal transfer or rehire within 2 years. Makes sense at face value, lots of fish in the sea and all that. AI conversational training tools make sense too. Many managers are too conflict adverse to even give negative feedback, let alone confront people for not doing their job.
- stuaxo 2y agoOn other websites, I'd make a comment like "found the MBA". The solution to bad management isn't to badly manage by bureaucracy and AI.
