Hey beautiful people,

Leaders understand it’s okay say no to their management team.

Someone I’m working with used to be afraid to speak up when he saw something wasn’t right. He thought he couldn’t affect change and should just do what he was told.

Read my comment to find out what happened when he finally overcame his fear.

For the last month I’ve been contemplating life. It hasn’t been so much if, but more so when. A director on my team in a different vertical has been pushing me to the brink with extreme emotional abuse and now sabotaging my livelihood; job security (health insurance, financial stability, place to live etc) following months of initiating a flirtatious relationship they finalized a divorce.

I’m at a T2 with 2 YOE. Feels like you only have real client exposure here once you hit around 4-5 YOE (from undergrad). Is this true at MBB/other T2s?

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it?
