Front end role vs. back end role

MBAs die for front end roles, without even knowing what does front role mean ? they cry to get one of those role. Finally when they get one, they crib for the shit they need to go through in order to get the job done. Hey! smart ass, didn't you opt for this?  Anyway I never understood what is the actual difference between front end roles and back end roles? Definition changes from person to person and from time to time. Mostly the person whom you are talking is on back end role and his counter-jealousy-part-sumo is having all the time of his life.

There are other definitions which can help us understand the difference and which I have collected or picked up in two years of my MBA life.
  1. If you are using too much excel and less other stuff. Definitely back end role. No logic!
  2. If you are screwing the other person lower in terms of role and pay to you, this is definitely a front end role. My engineer friends, please do not take the meaning literally.
  3. If you are getting screwed back by your boss. Front end role. No questions asked.
  4. If you work a lot and do not get good bonus & hike. Back end role.
There are loads of different definitions given by many "Gyaani Purush". Few thing which I have not understood yet are that what about the work ? and what about my likes and why do we need to follow the herd and go through the incessant cycle of abuse and screwing.
