Well, it's an independent student weekly. Not really Harvard publishing the article directly.
Anyway, I think that the author sounded a little bitter. Moreover, the complaints are about the 70s. Things have changed since then (hopefully). Moreover, as bherronp said, reality is perhaps somewhere between what this article says and what we all wishfully feel about our favorite schools. A student at a top 3 B-school told me that once you reach a B-school, the first few weeks / months make you come down to earth and see the future more realistically - and this happens at every school. That reality check is a necessary part of the growth that you get at the B-school.
You know which school I am refering to, when I say a top 3 school
Thats true. But the corporate environment is toxic, in many places. Is n't it?
I have felt that disgust whenever bosses try to shove the work..
I agree that MBA experience is interesting, and there are many things to learn from batchmates. However, are we going to learn skills that are important in corporate world? For example, at senior management level how much more business we can bring in is much more important than any thing else. See current iGate CEO. Yes. I am talking of Phaneesh Murthy who was kicked out of Infosys.
How much we can squeeze out of our subordinates is another indicator of our capability.
Do I also sound bitter?
Thats what I have noticed in the last 5 years
I guess thats how the great game goes on..we better learn the rules of the game
