The suit, filed earlier this year, argues that HP all-in-one printers stop all functions when ink levels reach some arbitrary point.

    They were engineers, and made stuff they liked and were proud of, and it showed. When they exited the leadership roles, the MBAs took over and it was all downhill from there.

      You know, I’m starting to have a stronger dislike of MBAs than I do lawyers. Even though lawyers were the traditional wiping boys.

        Lawyers get a bad rap. If you are ever falsely accused of a crime, you’re going to really wish you had a lawyer.

        MBAs are agents of decay and corruption.

          Being falsely accused of a crime really isn’t much of a problem until a lawyer is complicit in the accusation. False accusations usually end early in the investigation unless the accuser is coached on how to tailor their accusation to fit the law. Your lawyer is solving problems that only exist because of lawyers.

          Let’s not forget that “politician” is just a fancy term for a lawyer who hates working with clients.

          MBAs are, indeed, agents of decay and corruption, but they only play on a field that was designed and built by lawyers.

      It’s amazing how so many MBAs can tank a business. I’m seeing the same thing in my organization: as the number of people who have ever worked in the field decreases relative to the MBAs, things get worse, in both cultural and functional ways.

        Half the PMs in my company have MBA degrees and they’re all morons.

        Want to cosplay as a person with a MBA from Wharton?

          Whoda thunk the difference between current me and successful me is a hatred of sniffly noses and a preference for sci-fi.
