The typical fate of every company that replaces engineers in leadership
positions with clueless MBA bean counters. See HP going there very soon.

I think you are confusing MBAs with Accountants, who know how to cut
costs but not build businesses.

Unfortunately, this is not new or unusual.
Kodak invented the digital camera.
Kodak first mass-produced film and cameras.
Xerox invented the electrostatic copier.
IBM built the first mass produced personal computers.
So it goes.

Likely you had real world business experience before you went for the MBA.
MBAs without real world experience at much are the major source of problems
in business.

As for me I'm an engineer and an entrepreneur plus a few more ... most of
the MBA types I've had to deal with were both a PI* and worse than
worthless.

Yes six years in engineering & commerce; and I agree with you about
people who have no knowledge of business being let loose!

worthless.

Pity!
