I can identify with this whether it is intended to be satire or not. While working for one of the largest electric utility companies in America, I was forced to sit in meetings and listen to wet-behind-the-ears consultants from McKinsey tell us how to run our utility company. The only credential that these bozos had was a MBA from some elite university. Our CEO had bought into McKInsey hook line and sinker. He followed their advice and bought electric distribution facilities in London and Australia. In the end he almost drove the company into the ground and ended up getting canned and his wife divorced him and took him to the cleaners. He apparently was forced into exile in his own home because no one wanted to associate with him afterward. Of course, McKinsey got their exorbitant fees and moved onto their next victim.

Replace McKinsey with another consultancy starting at the beginning of the alphabet and the industry with higher ed. Similar results. Amazing how such people keep their jobs.
