Is this a pharma thing?

I’d give a tea spoon of grace is that were the case but this is media and advertising

Back before Donny Deutsch was a media phenom and just a wise-ass ad guy, I heard him tell a creative workshop audience, “Look, none of us in this room is going to cure cancer, solve the Northern Ireland thing, or bring peace to the Middle East. What we do is fundamentally unimportant. It's only advertising. So, if it's not fun, what the f*** is the point?"

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management.

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!
