this probably was brought on by a worthless Harvard MBA who was running the firm for which he worked. Harvard MBAs are among the most worthless people with whom I have ever had contact. They are imbued with the mistaken idea that their $hit doesn’t stink, although they know really very little about business and they treat people around the deplorably. The country would ream untold benefits if Harvard was to cease to exist. Yale should probably suffer the same fate.
Yale deserves to be in the same trash can as Harvard. Throw GW and Georgetown into the East Coast evil bastards.
In the west coast, Stanford and USC are like the Ivy league evil bastards.
I worked for a total of 12 years for a well-known Silicon Valley company that is now gone. The Sr. VP was a Harvard Grad. So we got a succession of HMBA’s brought in by this guy to “lead us.” I was in charge of Procurement. One night I was sitting around with my boss and he exasperatedly said, “Maybe we should quit and come back at three times our salaries as “consulants.” Then maybe management would actually listen to us!” They were willing to spend loads of money on nonsensical, non-productive ideas so long as they came from the HMBAs, but they wouldn’t often give those of us who were actually running the place the time of day. Funny though, they are now out of business.
