You're acting as if the 20-somethings were holding the reins. They absolutely were not -- they were looking to the higher-ups for guidance and authority. The term 'banality of evil' comes to mind in regard to the limited knowledge the underlings had and how firmly they were held under control by those directing their actions.
- pembrook 2y agoThe “higher-ups” you speak of are just the top PowerPoint jockeys who get promoted extremely fast — all professional services firms are highly incentivized to give people fancy titles so they can bill them at higher rates. Even the senior management have never actually done or accomplished anything other than Googling stuff and pasting it on PowerPoint slides. Consulting firms like this are a one way street for young grads, up or out. It’s not like McKinsey is recruiting successful founders or corporate executives with actual business acumen to sell PowerPoint slides by the hour. There is no there there. Ironically, the scandals they're supposedly "behind" only serve to build their brand. It gives cover to the morally bankrupt executives at the actual company, while signaling to other executives that McKinsey will take the fall for you.
