It just reads strange to me. Maybe he was on one client that wanted evidence for one scenario he didn’t agree with... but you move on after 2 months to the next client.

“I decided to make myself ineligible for the standard severance/transition package by writing this story”

The title makes it seem like BCG was trying to pay him off, rather than offering one of the most employee-friendly benefits in existence

Which school did the writer of this go to? Was it MIT by chance? 🤔

The entire way this is written screams “I am an entitled 24-year-old who claims wisdom despite not seeing the full picture, and I am also absolutely impossible to manage.”

Author seems inexperienced, and naive to the real world - an ideologue troubled by the irrationalities of people and society. Learn how to play the game, or go find a new one (preferably a non-profit). In the words of famous philosopher Tupac Shakur, “Once (you) get an understanding on the game, what the levels and the rules of the game (are), then the world (isn’t) a trick (anymore), (it) is a game to be played.”

I’m surprised so few have spoken up for the author. Sure, he’s idealistic about how the world works, but his background and do-the-right-thing attitude would make him a more suitable and ethical leader down the road, unlike Principals 1 and 2.

I was recruiting for consulting when this article came out, and ended up at BCG (though I’m not there anymore). This article is a shortsighted hit piece, and the author is a naïve twit. His attitude isn’t “do-the-right-thing”, it’s “I’m smarter than everyone else in the room”.

And you can take your veiled insinuations about my ethics and cram it. I’ve proven my integrity as a leader to the people for whom it matters (that’s my teams, by the way, and my Marines way back when). I care nothing at all for the completely uninformed judgment of internet strangers.

I'm the only associate on a case with two partners. The elderly, managing partner thinks that a party has had three prior wrecks, I'm confident that the party only had one. He keeps telling witnesses/experts about his multiple prior wrecks, and I keep correcting him afterwards in private, but he keeps making the same mistake.

How should I handle this?

People always compliment how soft my skin is, I honestly think it’s because I don’t shower daily so I never have to use lotion and my skin has a natural oil balance.
