MBA’s will chase the lowest cost option regardless of how terrible it is. Like replacing skilled IT with people who will “work for $2 a day!!!” I lost my job hears ago to that pitch and I’ve talked to others who heard the identical claim “$2 a day I have to hire them.” Then it turned out most of these experts were totally unqualified to do the job. Wonder why 70% of websites are glitchy as fuck these days?
And the saracha company famously fucked themselves when the owner brought in a one of their relatives who was a newly minted MBA. These business genius fucked over the farmer the company has worked with since it was founded and ended up not being able to source the peppers they needed to produce their sauce. Remember the shortage a few years ago? Yeah that was cause the MBA dumbfuck burned the supplier that had helped them become a household name all in the sake of slightly more $$$
I lost my job years ago to such con-men selling the idea of “outsource your IT to India, they’ll work for only $2 a day!!! Imagine the savings!!!”
And then their IT infrastructure went to shit. And any of us unemployed IT guys who called them out were labeled as racist for pointing out the people they fired us to outsource to were objectively unqualified.
Business owners need to wise up and realize every sales pitch they hear is probably a conman lying to get their money.
