McKinsey & Company Hey folks!
Was wondering what sort of life sciences projects does usually the Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey & Company take on?
Commercial, access and pricing, M&A, transformation, implementation? (all of them perhaps?)
Basically, what would someone with an LS background be mainly working on in these firms on a day-to-day basis?
Thanks!

In the United States, it is illegal for an employer to discriminate against an employee based on a medical condition, including allergies to cleaning chemicals, under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities, unless doing so would cause an undue hardship for the employer. If your allergy to cleaning chemicals has been diagnosed by a doctor as a disability, and you have informed your employer of this condition, it is possible that cutting your hours could be considered discriminatory. In this situation, you may want to talk to an attorney or an advocacy organization, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, to see if your rights under the ADA have been violated. It's important to keep in mind that every case is unique and the best course of action for you will depend on the specific circumstances of your situation. Consulting with an experienced attorney or advocacy organization can help you understand your options and determine the best way to proceed.
I don't think so. As far as I know, when you caught a job-related illness, your employer should be responsible for your medication and other stuff. They're doing the exact opposite of helping you.
Definitely not! You should talk to your store manager about your rights. In the first place, you got sick because of your job. They should take care of you instead.
Hey! First of all, get well soon. Have yourself checked by a doctor. And no, it is not legal for them to cut your hours because of your condition. That's a violation of labor laws.
Yes, you are quite right on that assumption that what they are doing could possible be illegal considering the fact that the allergy has not greatly affected your ability to work. In fact, you are the one who should be duly compensated. Hope you get a good lawyer.
They are clearly stepping on your rights as an employee if they do that. You should seek damages for developing such an allergy in the first place. Stand your ground
How did they conclude that cutting your hours would help the situation? how about switching cleaning products..
Yes. this sounds discriminatory. They should be doing more to help with your medical condition. Do you have health insurance?
What were the allergic reactions that you suffer from? They really need to do more to make sure that this doesn't keep happening to you or anyone else
Did you disclose it to them? How about your medical records showing that you got the allergy because of your work?
