Ahhh yes the prime example for why MBAs shouldn't be allowed to touch companies like this.

I'm sorry, you aren't allowed to post this until you've gotten clearance from legal, HR, and we'll need to toss it up to the C-suite. Honestly it's probably just best if you don't think outside of the box again and focus on your metrics. Synergy.

Every single time an MBA manages an engineering company they run it into the ground.

Oh, they've been quite successful at what they want to do. They have successfully looted the company quite thoroughly. Boeing had spent nearly a century building up a strong company with a strong brand that was recognized and valued across the world. After the MBAs took over they looted everything, they trashed the brand for short term gains, they funneled all of the cash on hand into the pockets of shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks. They've enriched many already hyper wealthy folks by many tens of billions of dollars, and all it took was destruction of a world class engineering institution and a few hundred lives.

Working for yes. The issue is when the entire management team is MBAs. An engineering company needs engineers in upper management too.
