A lot of consultants I know do not want to work remote because they specifically enjoy the on-the-road lifestyle. My experience with many of my consulting colleagues is that this this type of news is great because they still get to travel

Something like 1/3rd of PWC's revenue comes from consulting (officially their "Advisory" arm). They started rebuilding it almost as soon as they sold it. Strategy& is actually only a small portion of the Advisory org

Oh I see the humor in it and I too am entertained, but I think it's a strange attitude to take in a paid product. This seems like more the territory of "optional donations accepted". Just think, if this were a larger company

We're long past the point where "educating people" is going to help. The people left who still refuse to mask up are not doing it because of lack of education, and it's time to publicly shame them for their selfishness a

by awsthro00945 5y ago
I've been seeing this a lot amongst anti-mask arguments. Antimaskers unironically equate wearing a mask to some type of life-altering, oppressive action. It's absurd. Amongst all of our social responsibilities as human being, wear

Save face? Are you under the impression that I have something to prove, or care about what you or HN thinks? This isn't reddit, I don't make comments with the intention of getting "upvotes" nor do I care how many I get.

Not only is it not the answer, vacation can actually be a contributor to burnout, IME. In my current role, taking PTO is a legitimate punishment . If I take a day off, there is nobody else on my team who has capacity to pick up my work in

I agree. In my experience, "flexible work hours" is often code for "everyone works weird fucking hours so instead of having a set routine, you have to be quasi-available at all times to respond to the person who decided to wa

That line is definitely a harsh way to put it, but as someone that has a similar feeling, my interpretation is as follows: Many people in the industry have a very glorified view of FAANGs, and in particular one of the reasons that many peop
