I wish there was a consulting version of what’s happening in Golf right now. Would you take 10X your salary to work for the Saudi’s?

LIV players have 1/8 events in SA - rest are in US, UK, and Thailand. They are also getting paid more money to play 8 events than they would make playing in 3-4x as many events in PGA.

So for a proper comparison, imagine you get offered a job where you still work where you normally do for most part and work 1/3 of the year only. And you get paid more.

I’d take it. Accenture does business in SA so if I had a moral issue against it, what justification do I have to work for them or any other company that profits from SA now?

Oh please - the number of atrocities US and UK have committed along the years in the name of "democracy" and "saving those poor helpless local populations" 🙄

Having global media on your side and being able to shape the truth to your advantage doesn't change the underlying actions. Not pointing a finger at US or UK, just saying powerful countries will do what they will do. Some are just slightly more elegant and adept than others in presenting their version of the reality.

That’s just not true, SM1 — empirically so. People from all over the world come to study at American universities, or have American babies. There are people all over the world who break the law and in some cases risk their lives to come live in the US illegally, and think that existence is better than where they came from. There’s nowhere else on earth that someone can go and assimilate in such a short time. My parents came from Korea 40 years ago; 1 generation later I’m a consulting partner and despite not being white I’m fully American.

Again, I’m not trying to pretend America is perfect. It’s not. But to be dismissive about the fact that Saudi Arabia is really just a bunch of religious fanatics supporting tens of thousands of rich princelings by brutalizing and oppressing the rest of the population just because America isn’t perfect is ridiculous.

I never once said anything about hating the US gov’t. Let’s work on your reading comprehension skills whenever you have a moment.

I simply am not the type of person to point another country’s flaws while we have our own. To think we don’t violate human rights at a massive scale globally is ignorance. We as a country have violated the rights of every demographic of human being.

It’s not hate — it’s acknowledgment for one’s actions and as a managing director I hope to see more evolved thinking.
