It's happening at a lot of companies. Last year our C-suite cancelled some big IR&D projects (where we were designing real products that could actually be built and sold) in order to dump $300k/mo into renting a cloud AI infrastructure that none of the employees want or use.

How do we pivot this to the death of the MBA. Because i'd quite like that.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

That will be much harder. The MBA is specifically designed and controlled by the biggest financial institutions to implement management in a way that always benefits them.

They will never allow the MBA to die.

MBA is for people that are not too proficient in other degree fields, like STEM MS/MA. i always seen people in college that kinda washed out to a business degree because they cant hack it in another more rigorous major and also an easy major to complete and not get your gpa totally trashed, more common in a CC school, i always think what are they going to do with a "business degree" once they get it.

At least STEM and the humanities can both agree that business degrees are terrible

the concept? no. However denigration and discouragement will vastly stem the flow of sociopaths
