    Stuff like this is what made me understand that the MBA class is full of incompetent people who focus too much on networking and too little on learning how things work.

      I had to take a “business class” as a requirement for a programming degree. The final project was to present a business plan. It was a group project and one group had a member who could not read their part of the presentation. That is to say they were illiterate, not that they were experiencing stage fright. I presume they got a passing grade, too, since the instructor offered no criticism.

      MBA’s will chase the lowest cost option regardless of how terrible it is. Like replacing skilled IT with people who will “work for $2 a day!!!” I lost my job hears ago to that pitch and I’ve talked to others who heard the identical claim “$2 a day I have to hire them.” Then it turned out most of these experts were totally unqualified to do the job. Wonder why 70% of websites are glitchy as fuck these days?

      And the saracha company famously fucked themselves when the owner brought in a one of their relatives who was a newly minted MBA. These business genius fucked over the farmer the company has worked with since it was founded and ended up not being able to source the peppers they needed to produce their sauce. Remember the shortage a few years ago? Yeah that was cause the MBA dumbfuck burned the supplier that had helped them become a household name all in the sake of slightly more $$$
