<p>And that has to be weighed against the risk of losing an offer from a company who would have been successfully ‘deceived’ (if that is indeed the right word) by somebody merely stating - truthfully- that they have an MBA from UM. Given the dubious hiring decisions that companies make every day, I’m quite certain that there is indeed ample opportunities for companies to be fooled. Like I said, you guys seem to persist in the belief of a soberly vetted hiring process where every candidate is always carefully examined and cross-validated. Anybody who has actually spent significant time in the working world would quickly realize that this is far from the truth. </p>

<p>Again, that’s only if the manager actually realizes what has happened (and cares). But, again, I think we can all agree that many managers wouldn’t realize what had happened. And besides, by the time that such a manager might have realized it, you might have already jumped to another company. </p>
<p>Indeed, there seems to be a pervasive underlying myth that permeates this thread that every firm in the country is efficiently and competently managed with diligent procedures and painstakingly designed organizational structures every step of the way. I doubt that you even need to have worked in the business world - merely observing how the business world actually operates - to convince you that that’s a myth. While certainly some firms are more competently managed and designed than others, widespread inefficiencies persist. Again, there’s a core reason why Dilbert is such a popular cartoon, because it speaks to underlying realities of the inanities of the business world. </p>
