So, looks like only Kearney went extra mile on mid-year capacity adjustment? All the others did regular up-or-out / performance driven OCs?To all K folks - is this due to significant overhire, low business or combination?

Business at K is lower, but in line with industry slump. Seeing how many contracts they’re winning I would say they might even outperform ever so slightly. Kearney’s main vice was inability to project demand and overhiring

Do you work or aspire to work at @Kearney? If not, enough with the Kearney bashing. Give the poor folks a break.

Indeed 🥱 Kearney is a corporation, employees were let go of. There’s nothing more to add, no “bad guys” and “victims” or whatever.

Let’s not create dramas where there isn’t, and while actual dramas are happening all around the globe (and in within MEA for that matter). This is distasteful.
