Why do liberal artists and Engineers both detest “MBAs”
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 16th, 2026 9:04 AM Author: coiffed magical brunch fortuitous meteor I have an MBA iirc so I’m biased
Every single OCR ace is either:
-in banking/finance where they’re amongst themselves and cordoned off in a sense so that’s not who anyone is complaining about unless they’re talking about the scam that is the entire economy
-aced Consulting OCR but have Engineering undergrads a lot of the time soooooo yeah. Engineering, champ.
-F500 OCR into total obscurity or maybe not but still they are Engineers kind of pretty often
Or they don’t ace OCR and then they’re Ruined completely and live in Trailers.
There’s a strawman redditors beat on of a Fake Job guy with an Easy Major but idk it’s basically Fake Job Woman at this point if we’re talking about Fake Jobs. Job Guy basically has to convince people to hire him through feats of Engineering, phenotype, or salesmanship ime.
It’s also probably an anachronism, you probably had extremely incompetent boomer MBAs Ruining everything while Gen X workers toiled away. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5893589&forum_id=2#50070835) |

Date: August 16th, 2026 9:09 AM Author: olive hunting ground set Speaking as an Engineer(ing Manager), MBAs are detested in tech because they're usually in somewhat important management roles but lack any technical knowledge because they have a BA in Political Science. And since leadership respects their stupid MBAs, they have sway and influence over technical projects that usually go against standard software development guidelines and generally cause stress and moderate chaos as a result. Attrition is the outcome.
Liberal Artists don't like MBAs because of retarded reasons like "that's not the true intent of Education" or some other Liberal Arts gibberish. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5893589&forum_id=2#50070837) |

Date: August 16th, 2026 9:35 AM Author: coiffed magical brunch fortuitous meteor Also they aren’t respected by management (also Engineers) unless they’re Engineers or aced OCR at a Top School. Respect your betters. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5893589&forum_id=2#50070858) |

Date: August 16th, 2026 10:00 AM Author: olive hunting ground set I should have been more specific about that point. You virtually need an MBA from a Top MBA School to get an MBA position of significance in tech, and that Top School MBA is largely the reason leadership treats them with some Respect. An MBA from a no-name school gets you nowhere further than a bottom-tier "Business Analyst II" job of no Significance. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5893589&forum_id=2#50070894) |

Date: August 16th, 2026 10:19 AM Author: olive hunting ground set That low ceiling is because I've been WFH since 2018 and refuse to work in an office ever again, so I limit myself to WFH management jobs that have a realistic ceiling of the low $200,000ks. If I were an office cuck and even willing to relocate for some stupid job, I'd have a higher ceiling, but I chose WFH over more Money.
My monthly expenses are around ~$3.5k/month including rent. I live like a pauper so that I can save as much as possible. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5893589&forum_id=2#50070937) |

Date: August 16th, 2026 10:21 AM Author: coiffed magical brunch fortuitous meteor your expenses are Ruinous. I only spend $11,000k/yr and I don't have to put up with retarded Engineers. why do you brag about your phenotype on the internet? you clearly want to express it irl, but you can't because you're Afraid. So you type text about your phenotype on a board for laywers. wtf is wrong with you lmao. Express your phenotype irl. People with Fake Jobs will inform management of your immense income potential, and height. Or stay in your room like a coward, surrounded by Drywall.

Date: August 16th, 2026 10:29 AM Author: olive hunting ground set I can express most of my Phenotype through a video call (very youthful-looking despite being 37, natural Norwood 0, attractive face). As an example, when I was interviewing for jobs a month ago, one interview was for a non-managerial principal software engineering role. But mid-interview, the two managers interrupted to say that I sounded like a much better fit for a higher-paying management opening, and the next-round interview was for that management role instead.
I've figured out how to express height with WFH: whenever my team is having some retarded "team bonding" moment, I suggest we all state our heights so that we get a better idea of what we're like IRL. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5893589&forum_id=2#50070957) |

Date: August 16th, 2026 11:32 AM Author: coiffed magical brunch fortuitous meteor you're being judged as a retard imho. you have to Express height and let it speak for itself irl. if you treat a zoom meeting like an xo thread and just state your height, then I have no trouble imagining how you got Fired. also at your Income level you're more like a Supervisor or something. you aren't management atm. Whats your COL? (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5893589&forum_id=2#50071048) |
|
Date: August 16th, 2026 1:13 PM Author: olive hunting ground set You appear to be attempting to Troll me and/or are actually getting Worked Up about this for no apparent Reason.
It's almost impossible to express height with WFH. I bring up the height discussion at a natural point, such as when we're brainstorming stupid "ice breakers" for meetings. I don't just state it flat-out.
My official title is Senior Software Engineering Manager with one manager and 3-4 senior+ codecucks reporting to me (TBD). "Supervisor" is a title reserved for Prole jobs like working in fast food or retail. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5893589&forum_id=2#50071289) |
