They wanted to restructure to cut costs, and hired a consulting firm to help do the analysis and give recommendations, as any company does. If they didnt hire McKinsey they would have probably hired Bain, or BCG, or any other firm (but probably not Deloitte), who would have more likely than not come up with very similar recommendations. People tend to not be happy when cost cutting restructurings happen. Suggesting its all because of McKinsey is a bit ridiculous.

“Probably not Deloitte”. Speaking on behalf of Chapek, are we? :)

Seems like Associated 1 was rejected by Deloitte :)

Doesn't change the fact that you're at Deloitte

People talk about bloat in technology companies but don’t mention the bloat in Strategy Consulting, it’s not hard to do what McKinsey does, but by all means continue to pay them exaggerated salaries.

I’m not entirely sure those are the same things given the actual quantity of work to do…

And let’s be real, everyone would love to be paid a lot to do very little

Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
