This guy on our team, somehow managed to "forget" about our Secret Santa gift exchange last week. Despite the nearly daily reminders. Anyway, he stole a bow off someone else's gift, stuck it on a dead plant he kept on his desk, and gave that to his secret santa,

Ewe. He should’ve been excluded from participating. I can’t stand cheap people.

Need advice! I accepted an offer mid Oct and just found out my new company opened a new role above me at the title I was asking for originally but was told I would move up when they were ready to build out the team. I am over qualified for my role now and already meet the exp of the new role above me. Very salty and feel like they are setting me up to feel stuck before I even start. What do I did?

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?
