>the many troubling associations McKinsey has had with shithole companies. not only shithole companies. At the total service of shithole governments: "McKinsey Bans Moscow Staff From Attending Pro-Navalny Protest ... In line with policy, McKinsey employees must not support any political activity either publicly or privately. This ban does include posts in social media featuring your political views or your attitude to any action with a political flavour. This line of conduct is mandatory.

That message was genuine, but quickly retracted and apologized for. That's not a real policy.

  In Russia everyone knows which of those 2 messages is the real one guiding your cushy employment there, and which one is just a PR BS which was produced after people like Ted Cruz cried foul in the US .

I call bullshit on this email being sent by the firm until I see it (though I totally believe it may have been sent by someone working at the Moscow office) Grounds: - it goes directly against several key employees rights policies which we are reminded of by the firm itself several times a year - its formulation is very different from the firm's language in across-the-board communications

  >I call bullshit on this email being sent by the firm until I see it The firm didn't deny it. It issued retraction. So, it is genuine. And the firm wants the Russian regime to know that it is genuine. All that absolutely not surprising given the Russian environment. >- it goes directly against several key employees rights policies which we are reminded of by the firm itself several times a year nor policy nor "employees rights" (who is going to enforce them? Russian gov-t?) are worth losing GazProm and Norilsknickel as clients and becoming political enemy of Putin. People in Russia are arrested today for just retweet of a thread mentioning the date of protests (like that RBC editor).
