Not to defend MBAs here, but doesn't a big portion of the blame fall on organizations that are clearly putting too much weight on their candidate's degree and placing them in jobs they're not (yet) qualified for?

In an alternate scenario: an MBA gets hired to fill a position below management and the higher-ups get a clear picture if they're cut out to manage operations, only awarding the MBA a promotion to management if/when they prove themselves.

This is true, however typically the people who make that call are from the same background (MBAs themselves).
