And typically, I guess I don't have exactly the data on this, but typically the idea is when you see expected declines in the economy, these graduate degrees or additional degrees, additional credentialing will increase, right? So I'm not surprised that you're seeing that at the same time.
What I'm surprised by is the fact that I'm also seeing, anecdotally, an increase in distaste for hiring people with MBAs. And just a few months ago, we did an episode on if you should get an MBA. And one of the stats that we saw was actually that people who graduated from the Harvard Business School, which is one of those tippy-top business schools that you mentioned—
We're having a vast increase in unemployment six months after graduating. I believe it went from like 7% unemployment to like 23% unemployment, something like that. So I'm curious what's going to happen when this next batch of increased students graduate.
But you're not working in data science.
That's a-hole. That's a-hole behavior. Yeah. Women swear. Okay. That's crazy. I'm so sorry, Brooke. They are the a-hole.
I don't know.
Well, I think once they've reneged on the offer, and it seems like everyone is upset, I think it's time to say, okay, clearly this is not a fit for some reason. It's time to start looking. I don't think you even have to message the president.
What I will say is because it's internal, I agree with that. If it was external, I don't think you should believe anything until you see it in writing because they have – you're not already employed with them. It's the internal part that's like, all right, you gave us your word.
Yeah, sounds like nobody's the a-hole here, so we love that. My advice here is that it's going to be really challenging, especially if you're a group full of your peers and then all of a sudden you're managing them. I can completely understand why that's going to be tough, and so my recommendation is to completely over-communicate.
Explain the awkwardness, name it, call it out, allow your new direct reports to express any discomfort to you directly so that they don't harbor resentments. And that basically will open up a clear channel of communication for the future and hopefully will make your bonds and relationships stronger moving forward.
Yes, and I think that it might be helpful to say like, I'm putting on my manager hat now and I have to give you hard conversation and that could or hard, hard advice that could give you a little bit of like alter ego mindset where I'm now the manager and therefore I can give you this difficult feedback.
