Fellow MBA’s what shifts do you normally work each week?
I now normally get stuck with 2 Closing Shifts , 3 opening shifts
I used to get 1 close and 4 opening shifts when I first moved out of being a CXM
Less closing Was supposed to be a perk of being
MBA vs CXM
And now having AYS , Jewelry and CXC’s added to my list of responsibilities is pushing my buttons
What's happening with the MBA position? I know a lot do not understand the position and everything they do. They do so much. Basically a director is smaller stores.
What Verizon desperately needs is more McKinsey MBAs telling us how we need to run our network and services. First, they can ask all the folks with industry knowledge on what the issues are, then they can ask the various teams for solutions and then finally package all of that into a pretty PowerPoint deck (with fancy eye candy charts) and present it to our dear leaders, who will lap it up as they don’t know any better.
Talks on a previous thread of the MBA role absorbing OOM duties creating the new Operation Facility Manager role. Can anyone verify this? Another question is what happens in store with an MBA and SMM only? Do MBAs just take the ops portion from the SMM? Would the duties just be the combination of the two roles or are any other shift of responsibilities off of this role onto another?
What exactly does an MBA do all day? Mine sits in her office looking at the computer. Even on weekends rarely ventures outside of her office. Is there that much desk work involved with the role?
“What really matters is that companies that don’t continue to experiment – companies that don’t embrace failure – they eventually get into a desperate position, where the only thing they can do is make a ‘Hail Mary’ bet at the very end of their corporate existence. I don’t believe in bet-the-company bets.”

Seems like Infinity is the Hail Mary. They of course decided to end of life their entire current revenue stream in 5 years to hopefully “force” customers to move to Infinity. I guess MBAs will study this decision in the future. I wonder what they will learn?
Finance oversubscribed, and reducing number of executives dramatically by 2030. Significant pressure to reduce potential of younger staff. Although has been happening for few years now, more pressure again this year. I had executive potential 2 years ago, recently told no longer executive potential, not competitive. Many with executive potential last year will lose this year.... but interning MBAs who will surely become future executives.... hmmm Ask you manager!! Most wont volunteer this information on your potential change but will communicate if directly asked.
