    Form over substance

    Its driving me friggin crazy.

    Its what is wrong in American bidness these days as much as anything.

    and its all these MBAs that are the cause of it.

    Our business schools suck ass.

    Amen.

    Used to drive me crazy too.

    Business decisions cannot be made in a meeting around a table. Especially by those who let a college professor tell them the best way to do things.

    I think I'm becoming a curmudgeon like you. I feel my enthusiasm for just about everything business related really waning. Its no fun any more. A powerpoint presentation is now considered a work product. People work for hours and days on them and that is their entire output. Well that and a conference call where its presented while half the audience catches up on their email.

    When did I get so negative? I gotta get a grip on this shit.

    Or retire.

    Being observant and commentaryish is not negative, nor is it Curmudgeonly, no matter what the current regime thinks!!

    True enough! Its when you add contraryish to the mix that it gets curmudgeonly.

    Actually, those conference calls are usually when I do most of my GH posting. Gotta hop on one right now...
