Soup to Nuts

Interesting... I thought leaving consulting meant leaving these references behind but, alas, I still hear things like “boil the ocean” and “parking lot”. In the end I think as long as you’re not spamming them, it’s all good. I will throw out that I hate war references since that always feels like a phony attempt at being macho

Calling people as resources

“transparency”

Saying anything but “layoffs” to mean layoffs

"We all are part of a family"

Bellybutton.

War room

“They are killing themselves working so hard”. My brother killed himself and it wasn’t because he worked hard at a well paying job

Throw the baby out with the bathwater!

What is the take on firing at CVS Health? Given the high likelihood of recession, does CVS Health have a history of firing people?

Would be great to understand if there is history here in how CVS has reacted in the past to recession

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Big 4 produces work horses and MBB produces leaders. Also they could be a work horse too since I don’t have full visibility.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?
