Colleen's Linkedin.

Do you see anything remotely techy in her education? Engineering?? But she is "senior vice president of applied AI solutions at AWS"



MBAs make you an expert at everything. Just ask anyone with an MBA.

You don't have to ask. They'll volunteer it every chance they get.

The postwar dream of shared prosperity was real until one CEO made shareholder profits the only thing that mattered


So America's gradual decent starting in the 50's and culminating in the rock bottom of the late 70's annd early 80's was actually the utopia we should've kept striving for?

The Jack Welch shareholder value approach is one of the main reasons why the American miracle resurgence in the 1990's and 2000's was possible.

People that put MBA after their name in LinkedIn are automatic red flags for me. Dbag alert. Also, MBA's are a dime a dozen now once it became a profit center for almost every school out there.

(I have an MBA.)

If you have to take a vacuum in for repairs repeatedly, do you tell them it sucks or doesn't suck?

GE.


Turned out to be sort of an empty suit like Jackie-boy turned out to be.

Layoffs happen, you can't always read the tea-leaves. But the short-term "shareholder" value bs doesn't qctually create quite the value one thinks.

BUT they can all say the moved "fast" and with "agility".

Trump should talk to Modi to get us all work visas in India.

That is where things are headed. You can laugh but you will soon be in Bangalore doing HVAC and electrician work.

Coworker (different team) puts it in her email signature. And it's a bachelor's degree level individual contributor role.

When we were freshly minted MBAs from a top ranked b-school, we were all intent in showing it off. Many of my batchmates put "MBA" after their name on Linkedin. I generally don't do that but I did so as well at that time. But it felt so pretentious and fake that I removed it after a few days. Never add it back since.

What I find awful is some profiles in Linkedin which show up as "Stanford University" next to their name. You may think they are super smart. But when you click on their profile, you see they took a 1 month "executive leadership" course from Stanford University and proudly put that in "education" as if it was a degree. You may have guessed it, mainly Indians doing this.

Try this link to find profiles Tex A&M and Harvard.

https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/people/?keywords=%22texas%20a%26M%22%20AND%20%22Harvard%22

The 2nd profile makes it seem she has a Harvard degree, but she an A&M degree and some course from Harvard (no degree).

This. I'm close to retirement and could retire tomorrow. But I make more than many on the exec team, so I'm probably at risk if things get squirly!

Gimme "the package "
