didn’t see my layoff coming. 😕.. was one of the top performer in the practice with 2 in 3 years and then laid off due to politics and favoritism in the leadership. I know I will not fall but hurts.

Is there really a difference in culture / WLB amongst the MBB firms or is this all overblown?

Bain loves to tout their sustainability surveys. I don’t hear anything comparable from McKinsey around ensuring employee happiness. Anyone from these firms care to comment?

This quote from Adam Grant is going to make me pay attention to how I feel over the holidays... Makes you think!

"The holidays shouldn’t be a time to recharge. They should be a time to celebrate. If work is exhausting people to the point that they’re using their time off to recover, you might have a burnout culture. A healthy organization doesn’t leave people drained in the first place."
