People are often young and naive when they choose what to study. There are some decent people and some assholes among business majors, just like with most other groups of people if you look closely.
I guess the point is that MBA systematically trains you to be unethical in order to do well
There are certainly nice and polite people everywhere, but decency is a matter of ethics in this context, I would say. At least that's how I'm reading it.
Like I'm a nice guy, but I'm not going to pretend it's decent of me to replace data workers with software automation, even if it's just the natural outcome of me putting my education into practice.
Had a friend who was, for whatever reason, in an ethics class where everyone else there was in business. Apparently the professor at one point told them outloud something to the effect of “oh my god, I have never seen a more unethical group of people”(heavily paraphrased, this was a decade ago).
Good and bad exist everywhere, but certain programs do certainly attract greater numbers of good or bad people than others. “How to generate shareholder wealth and make yourself rich” is going to attact a certain type of person more than other types.
