I’ve coached 5-6 consultants out. In the end this job sucks and is not fun when you are not doing well, receiving feedback over and over again and always being a step behind is not mentally healthy. Each of them have talent and can be successful in another role/industry. I like to think I’m expediting their ultimate decision to change careers but in the moment it’s certainly heartbreaking to see the major negative impact of losing your job.

It’s pretty rare to be the one to fire or let someone go in consulting - usually done by HR. But I have sealed the last nail on the coffin for a couple of people :(

Not saying I like it - but sometimes things just don’t work out 😕

100K+. I work in organization redesign. It's tough to see livelihoods being torn apart through my profession. I constantly try to stay grounded and humbled knowing that the work I do isn't just an Excel model or some name and title on a screen, it's an actual person with a spouse, kids, and sometimes, their job is their identity.

One, at a previous job. She knew she was in the wrong, came in on her day off to apologize and bring me chocolate. I still fired her, but I got chocolate out of it.
