Its BCG from my experience.
I work for deloitte and my close friend used to work for BCG.
His life was horrible 15+hrs of work everyday plus lot of travel within india.
He also said managers was not at all understanding and they use unprofessional language in 1:1 discussions.
Which i never saw in D. In 5 years of span.

In the past I’ve wrongly thought that forgiveness brings restoration of relationships. But reconciliation requires everyone involved to respond -which is beyond our control. Forgiveness says I’m canceling that debt- it’s my marker & I’m tearing it up. I’m putting myself in Gods hands -Justice comes from Him. We mistakenly think that forgiveness is weakness as if we just capitulated. Forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness- It takes strength to forgive. God tells us to forgive.
