Rant: Current car commercials

Jeffblue

you have valid point. Just because you know how to speak a foreign language, doesn't mean you can teach it. Just because you know a lot about an industry, doesn't mean you can manage the north east division of it etc. You need to know both. but i'd be more likely to heed the words of someone who had a lot of experience in the industry over some fresh college grad telling me about CRM and every other abbreviation they read out of their textbook.

The problem is that managers hire other managers. And if the fresh college grad can CRM and PPS and "other fancy buzzword acronym", while the technical guy who cares about his folks actually "gets it", the manager manager might be swayed by the buzzwords, and while technical manager spends all his time making things actually work, the buzzword whore spends most of his day figuring out how to screw the other managers at his level and cozy up to his/her own boss. You know the saying, "f*ck up - move up"
