Technical founder sold a company (where I currently work) to a big corp. Big corp sends here regularly directors with MBA to fix things, but things are worse and worse every year. People ask me why I joined a company in free fall every week. The thing is that technical understanding of MBAs is close to zero. Result will not improve throwing away 15% of the employees (the guy before current director did this). It’s obvious to me as an engineer with experience in operations - the products are not designed for easy production and manual testing takes too long and has bad error coverage. I have experience to fix obvious technical problems. No MBA will see them in first place. No MBA with their arrogance will listen to an engineer. Let’s wait for recession to end and look for new jobs.
