“As a result, we now see a plethora of MBA-holders mushrooming in and infiltrating every sector, company and corporation, no matter how large or small. With rare exceptions, these MBA-holders hardly bring any creativity or depth to the table. For them, everything is about profits and building their own image and profile. They seldom care about the well-being and advancement of those who fall under the mercy of their business ideas. They are usually people who, like a herd of sheep, have been told that an MBA is the easiest and fastest route to prosperity and advancement, so they go to school, get that MBA, and from there wreak havoc in every place they set their foot on. With their mediocrity and strong desire to advance at any cost, their management styles often create a culture of fear and intimidation among employees. This culture is usually characterized by serious retaliation if anyone dares to open their mouth to challenge their authority or critique their ideas.”

“In brief, anyone who has worked at one or two workplaces in America is familiar with that type of middle management or upper management individuals whose job is almost exclusively to create unnecessary tasks and procedures that turn the lives of employees under them into an absolute nightmare. What usually happens under such toxic circumstances? Nothing. A deafening silence from most employees. In fact, many employees not only remain silent out of fear of getting fired, they go as far as putting on fake smiles (or even loud laughter) to survive. Some walk around the office with the attitude of ‘I love my job!’ ‘I love my life!’ ‘I am living the dream!’ to please middle and upper management.”

“با اینکه بسیاری از ما رئیس یا مشتریانی داریم و هر کدام خرده‌فرمایش‌هایی دارند، آن‌ها همچنان قادر نیستند برنامه‌های جزئی روزانه‌ی ما را تعیین کنند؛ نگرانی‌های درونی خودمان عموماً خشن‌ترین کارفرمایانمان هستند. جدول‌های زمانی بیش از حد جاه‌طلبانه و مدیریت نادرست مشغله‌هایمان باعث ایجاد بی‌قراری عمیق و فرسودگی ناتوان کننده خواهد شد.”

“راهبرد کلی خوبی برای متعادل کردن وسواس و کمال‌گرایی داریم: به خودتان برای تولید یک نتیجه‌ی عالی وقت کافی بدهید، ولی دقت کنید که وقت شما نامحدود نباشد. محصول شما باید به اندازه‌ای خوب باشد که نظر افرادی با قریحه‌ی مورد قبول از نظر خودتان را جلب کند، اما خود را ملزم نکنید که حتما یک شاهکار ارائه دهید.”
