As described in Business Development and the value of an MBA, the Shitshow places no value on an MBA.
Case in point:
In what had to be a momentary lack of good judgment, I recently signed up for executive sponsor, on your own time, MBA engagement program.
I guess someone in HR finally realized that most people who have the Shitshow pay to get their MBA leave as soon as they can onto greener pastures. The Shitshow’s solution was to create a program where minions who recently received their MBA or were in the process of earning it were invited to tackle various strategic problems within the Shitshow. I signed up for the new business integration problem with 5 other minions.
After a lot of work the team came up with a pretty solid plan that could actually position the Shitshow into a winning situation. For a moment I was actually proud, but as usual the reality of the Shitshow quickly sunk in when I received an email from the star member of the team stating that he had just been laid off.
Just to make sure you got the story straight. The Shitshow paid for this guy to get his MBA (a $75,000 dollar investment). Then the Shitshow had him working on his own time on a plan to strategically position the Shitshow in a multi-million dollar market. And then while putting the finishing touches on the plan, the Shitshow decided to lay him off. I guess it should still be rewarding to this guy that the Shitshow decided to move forward with the recommendations made by the team.
Because million dollar plans are met with pink slips, I throw rocks.
