Oh yeah, Ken fools a lot of people. He’s maybe even inspired the actual lunatics, wouldn’t be shocked.

It hit me when he said 5 of my friends with MBAs, and there’s only 3 of them.

That said, who is he trying to impress?

Can comedy not exist on its own? The meta-irony of a dude making fun of the “our existence is only for generating shareholder value” is pretty funny in the context of “yeah but who’s he generating value for?” question

I’ve never met anyone with an MBA who wasn’t a moron.

Maybe the non-morons don’t make a point of telling you they have an MBA.

Yep. I know a few people who got their workplace to pay for it. It was an incredibly easy way for them to pad their resume and ensure higher pay ranges at stupid workplaces that gated stuff like that.

Only came up when we were talking about schooling (I was still finishing mine).

Everyone that made a big deal of it though, complete morons.

May not be working at Lowe’s much longer, but they make a point that a piece of paper isn’t a big deal. I think it’s the CFO that doesn’t have a degree?

Anyway, CEO is proud to say that a diploma on the wall isn’t a free ride. Busted my ass there for 3-months, got a promotion in the bag tomorrow. OTOH, just got a surprise interview for a tech job that pays 3x more. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Win either way!

You should meet my brother then. He has an MBA and CPA and runs an accounting firm. He’s pretty chill and treats his workers extremely well, while taking most of the lame work for himself.

“He must not have gone to a good school for his MBA then” - people with MBAs, probably

Yeah, usually, what’s perceived as intelligent by most is some of the theoretical reasoning, critical thinking, creative problem solving, and analytic-logical thinking that you learn and practice in higher education. But somehow, those with business degrees never have any of those qualities. I do wonder what they’re being taught instead.

To be fair, that’s the only purpose of this community. But the post is brilliant 😄

As someone who grew up in Ireland, we are sarcastic cunts. Hence, I always read everything as satire.
