There is a team at Deloitte audit whose SM bought them herbal anti stress pills to help them cope with the stress of the job. It’s a big tin of pills and they all take them together. What a toxic environment. Jesus.

Yeah but at least audit creates value and isn’t just some government enforced cost center… right? Right??????

Wrong

Herbal supplements are not regulated by the FDA - who knows what’s in the pills and if they are safe!!!

I used to test herbal supplements. Out of ten brands of a particular herbal supplement only two had detectable active ingredient. At best you are buying a bunch of filler ingredients.

Several of us on the project used to routinely go to a dispensary to get “deliverables” to help us cope. The SM would ask us to get some for them too.

What do you have against herbal supplements?

Also just because you’re not an attorney does not mean your job isn’t stressful or hard…. What the hell a1

I had a team once where the director had a giant bottle of vitamins she’d give out for extra energy after a night out of drinking. Toxic in a different way, but I appreciate that it’s an herbal option and the SM maybe wants them to think about their mental well-being?

Summer intern at BCG. I've been told by a few people that you need to spend your first few cases "earning your stripes" to gain staffing optionality or be servile/loyal to a pyramid to gain access to the cooler case work within that PA. It's seemed particularly emphasized at times.

Is this the standard at McK? I'm trying to guage the staffing optionality and openness of McKinsey culture to direct your random walk.

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!
