Friend of mine has a definition that uses bigger words and emphasizes the role of the MBA in destruction of businesses . . . I can't remember the definition, just what it means.
Frankly, I think it understates the case.
I the first MBA I had to deal with at work created a system to solve all of our problems . . . the complainant would assign every complaint a priority of 1 through 4.
I was looking for the criteria for each class . . . "They know what there priorities are!"
Since we already had a system that used A through D with criteria assigned as to what could be called an A, or a B, etc . . . and the shop totally ignored it and called everything an <A1 LINESTOPPER!!!> . . . I got the picture and shut up.
As we left the meeting, the MBA in question collared me and told me "You're just being negative and I don't want to hear it!"
I told him I just wanted to be sure I understood the system. (I can shovel the BS too, and knew he was too stupid to catch me at it.)
I only told three of my shop guys about the new system . . . we all had a good laugh about management idiocy, and continued with the current system.
(The reason I told those three guys was that they gave me
real priorities . . . with the result that their Bs and Cs were worked ahead of everybody else's <A1 LINESTOPPER!!!>s.)
I've only met one MBA I respected . . . And I only found out he had an MBA when he jumped in the middle of an idiot MBA and told the idiot he wasn't impressed by an MBA because he had one too! And
knew what kind of idiot could get through an MBA program! Good boss . . . he's dead now.

Right now in the state of Washington, should some dude decide he's a girl (based on whatever criteria he can think up), he not only has the RIGHT to use the girl's toilet in High School, but any girl asking why he is there can get FINED for the crime of challenging him! I am not making this up! . . .
I know you're not making it up.
If I was building a new school, all restrooms would be one-person individual restrooms . . . problem solved.
