I borrowed a friend's MBA textbook once for laughs. The most memorable quote was in the chapter on negotiating: "your skill at negotiation will affect the outcome of the negotiations."

If I was ever in charge of hiring, a candidate having an MBA would make me significantly less likely to hire them.

And why? Because I'd be responsible and prefer competent people for hiring, and just going through one of those courses makes people less competent
