The other day I ran into an old functional manager, Chris, who finally had enough with the Zookeeper. After switching departments a couple of times he ended up in Business Development. I was pretty excited to hear this since I just completed my MBA not too long ago. Looking for an opportunity to move out from King Kong’s area I asked Chris if there were any openings in the business development group. I added that I just received my MBA. Then the reality of the Shitshow sunk in.
Chris looked at me funny and asked, “MBA? Really?” I confirmed that was what I said. Chris had this puzzled look on his face and said “an MBA wouldn’t be useful for Business Development.”
I was in utter shock. A Masters in Business Administration where students take classes on how to analyze new business opportunities and classes on how to perform competitive and strategic analysis to beat competitors in products would not be useful within the business development function at the Shitshow.
Because my MBA has no value at the Shitshow, even within the business development function, I throw rocks.
