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.

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.
