MBA Code of Practise (not!) – Piercy
Monday, November 17th, 2008Thou shalt never smile again,
Thou shalt dedicate thy career to being a boring, humourless jerk, for is this not how thy professors are moulded?
Thou shalt spread the message that plans and systems matter more than doing things.
Thou shalt live by the dictum that those things which cannot be measured precisely and validly, to six decimal places, simply do not exist (little things like customer satisfaction and customer value shall not trouble thee …)
Thou shalt dedicate thy self to driving creative and unconventional people out of thy organization, for do not they deserve to be in a an agency somewhere, where they can do no harm?
Thou shalt worship at the alter of bureaucracy, for is not the neatness of the organization chart a measure of thy true worth?
Thy mission is to attend meetings for the rest of thy life, for is not the number of such meetings a measure of thy productivity?
