Nope, our company gets together for a mandatory all staff meeting to tell us how well the company is doing and how they‘ve made over a billion in revenue this year while taking away our holidays we used to have off and paying the wages of a Walmart worker. It wasn’t always like this, just changed late last year under a new CEO. This is my last year at this place and I’ve been here nearly 4 years.

Our team does a nice team event every year. Team dinner, a little bar hopping, overnight at a hotel if needed.

We are having a party in the office and then my team is having a holiday lunch together too paid for by the company

Nope, holiday parties have been outsourced

Yes, we have a nice Holiday party, however I can’t afford to attend . I can’t afford
to buy a nice outfit for it.

My department ordered a gift for everyone instead of a party.

McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall. But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).

Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried
