Lets agree to disagree. Clearly your experience and views differ from mine. I'll give up and believe that all MBAs love the red carpet, join startups simply to "strategize" in their $900 chairs, and sing the Kumbaya while developers do the grunt work. This back and forth is a total waste of everyone's time.
- wpietri 14y agoA sarcastic, straw-man flounce is definitely a waste of time. The "agree to disagree thing" only works if you do it graciously.
- antr 14y agoNo sarcasm here, I'm simply looking at things from your point of view, based on speculation and acts of faith. Looking through your comments on other threads I can see that you clearly have an "agenda" against MBA grads. Looks like a smart way of using your time. Good luck with that <- this, sarcasm.
- wpietri 14y agoThe "I'll give up and believe" was obviously sarcastic. Your interpretation of my position was a straw man, bearing little relationship to what I actually think. I don't believe it was a sincere attempt to look at things from my point of view. I don't have an agenda against MBA grads; many of my friends have MBAs. What I have an agenda against is parts of what the MBA programs teach, and the sense of entitlement that many fresh MBA grads either started with or caught at school. I have this agenda because I believe both are causing real harm to people, and to America as a whole. E.g., what a brace of MBAs did to the Simmons Mattress Company: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/05/business/economy/05simmons.html?pagewanted=all http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/05/business/economy/05simmons...
