Fake news or real? I sure have been hearing a lot of rumors out there about PNR allowing 2 MIT grads to leave PNR to get an MBA full time and then come back for a special carrot. Does anybody know the real scoop?

A graduate degree is a liability in some departments, where middle management see it as a threat to their ladder climbing.
Precisely what company needs. Another mit alum to nearly run it aground.
Are their MBAs being paid by pxd in full? Plenty of people worked full time, went to school and paid out of pocket for it. So let me guess who the MIT grads getting special treatment are?
Btw, getting into HBS is not that hard, know plenty of people who went there. They love petroleum engineers.
TDs business analysts were the chosen few back in the day

It’s a business not a math competition. We need executives who have good intuition and morals. No amount of degrees will provide that.
Uh-oh people, looks like the baby kangaroo is spying on us on this site
It’s real, go score 760 on GMAT and get into HBS first, then maybe you can get that special carrot
It’s real. Specific details I’m unsure of. But you got the gist.
Sounds like fake
Heard the same thing - some MBA school in Mumbai.
