It’s an internal saying at McK. I was being facetious in a way my colleagues would find funny.

Levity aside, show your strengths but don’t be robotic, scripted, or overly pompous. We work long hours, often in the same room, and the proverbial airport test (“would I want to be stuck with this person in an airport waiting for a delayed flight?”) does get used.
