I would’ve said terrible strategy and deliverables but McK is still “prestigious” after the Oxy, dictators, and Peloton work. I’m guessing those team members got amazing bonuses for their work at failing the world.

Brine and breading.

Prob 1 project where you raise some eyebrows, 1 where you’re watched more carefully and they try and help course correct, and maybe 1 more with no serious improvement.

Every case is different, but basically multiple projects in a row with diff teams where you aren’t pulling your weight (outside of your first project or two to get your feet).
