That sounds very close to "just following orders".
Enabling evil is itself evil.
Whether or not McKinsey is, when taken as a whole, evil is debatable. But, they certainly do enough work with dictators and other known bad actors that we should have the debate.
- pempem 5y agoWe should have that debate about every organization. McKinsey primarily (not exclusively) works with actors who have the ability to pay fees, and those tend to be actors in power. The number of organizations whose leaders have had intimate dealings with saudi arabia or other nation states with dictators at the helm would include most of our employers.
- boh 5y agoIf the preference is to perceive the world as a Marvel movie, McKinsey can play the part of a secret society of evil do-ers. If there's any interest in the actual mechanics of an economy dependent on growth, "evil" is fairly common and spread out with individuals making decision independently (even if they're "just following orders")
