Because… you want more Enron’s?
- chihuahua 3y agoThe way I interpret GP is not that they want more crimes to be committed, but rather that McKinsey people are already committing plenty of crimes, but only one of them went to prison so far.
- jncfhnb 3y agoNice nuanced opinion I guess.
- grotted 3y agoSays the McKinsey employee.
- jncfhnb 3y ago… yeah. Not too keen on someone saying me and my peers should go to prison without having committed a crime tbh.
- _jal 3y agoThe argument is that there are plenty of unprosecuted crimes already, obviously. I understand why you might disagree with that, and I understand why your reading comprehension might work better when not discussing your employer, but I have to say, you're really not helping your firm's reputation here.
- jncfhnb 3y agoThat’s not really the argument though. Because the person in question was prosecuted for something unrelated. It’s just a blanket request for people who work there to go to jail. It also (probably unintentionally) calls out entry level workers specifically.
- tecleandor 3y agoWell I don't know about your business in McKinsey, but just in case you don't know about your company's criminal record (bad if you do, bad if you don't), you could a quick review of the "Controversies" section for McKinsey in Wikipedia, including colaboration with authoritarian regimes, corruption in south Africa, arms business with Russia, jail consulting... When was the last opioids crisis settlement, a month and a half ago? How much is it already? Almost a billion dollars. Nuanced, yep.
- Pat_Murph 3y agoHow does more accountability for Mckinsey frauds equal more Enrons?
- jncfhnb 3y agoJeff Skilling was the CEO of Enron. His tenure at McKinsey was unrelated. He was also a partner.
- lenerdenator 3y agoBecause there are already more Enrons and no one's paying the price for it.
- jncfhnb 3y agoIt seems dubious that there are any companies like Enron in terms of scale and apparent credibility.
- swasheck 3y agomore Enron's what? i try not to be pedantic but your comment (and follow-up) seem to deliberately miss the point of the parent post.
- jncfhnb 3y agoMore instances of companies like Enron, in which someone goes to jail because they did something bad after leaving McKinsey.
