    The lawsuits against Perdue were wrong! The doctors chose to prescribe the drugs and the patients made the choice to abuse them. I’ve been prescribed hydrocodone and codeine (not at the same time) and I intentionally barely used either of them.

    How can you have a fake job like a consultant consulting two different opposing parties? I can't give a defendant I'm suing my own lawyer for instance lol, what even is conflict of interest at this point.

    No really why do we have consultancy firms? Really what value have they brought to the world? And why did Disneyland wanna cut costs as if it's not the most popular theme park and entertainment destination in the world??

    This exactly. I see many people here blaming mckinsey for their decisions. And while I will never defend mckinsey, it is misunderstanding the purpose of many of these huge consultancy firms if you think they have given bad advice. They gave the advice they have been asked to give. Managed wants to fire people and then they hire an organisation like mckinsey to justify that decision. Allowing them to avoid responsibility for their own decisions

    It astounds me how a third party company can just waltz on into Disneyland and begin cost cutting without even knowing about how to run a theme park. We see examples of companies cost cutting with terrible consequences despite employees warning them months before the disasters and they are never taken seriously. It takes death for people to be listened to and for sweeping changes to come about.

    My job is funded by grants rolled out from the Purdue Pharma settlement. I have never even heard of McKinsey, but from what I know about Purdue Pharma, I’m not shocked that they worked together and are both awful. Crazy that they haven’t had to face any consequences

    Why does everyone in this video sound like AI? Why do so many things look like AI? Like the text and icons at 1:27
    The video pretends it's good by being flashy and loud when it's really just noise that adds nothing.

    nahhh i already hated these guys because i hate scumlords that loosen safety for profit and i DESPISE ice as they're all inherently immoral monsters but you mean to tell me these guys are the reason i have to suffer agonizing pain and fight like a dog for even the slightest relief? a big part of the opioid crisis that's never really discussed (understandable since obviously teenagers dying is worse) is the insane overcorrection made by the entire medical industry with opioids, making it a nightmare to be prescribed for people who deal with chronic pain. i've dealt with pain so bad from the age of 14 that led me to be regularly hospitalized due to the severity, do you know just how difficult it is to get an opioid script at 15 or 16? do you know how haunting it is watching all your friends and peers live out the "best years of their lives" while you rot in a hospital or your bedroom? i dreamt of my 16th birthday as a kid and i spent it crying in the hospital because i was too sick and in too much pain to see my friends, and now at 19 my boyfriend is dealing with the same thing and at 20 i just got dropped by my pain physician for losing my bottle of morphine at the theater because i decided to leave the house to watch iron lung with my best friend, and after it happened i lied to get the medication that lets me LEAVE MY BED refilled early. i just got home from an infusion and had to shuffle my way back into my bed trying not to vomit from the pain because i'm out of medication. genuinely FUCK these guys, they not only ruined the lives of countless people by giving them addictions and countless families by killing their loved ones but they've also made an already mind shatteringly painful existence even worse. i genuinely hope everyone involved drops dead idgaffff 🙏🙏😭😭😭😭

    Everything McKinsey touches they poison with their greedy sticky hands.

    Do companies not understand they can save so much money by not hiring these expensive consultancy firms.

    The difference between those industries and the parks industry is that they also test every single part so they know when regular maintenance or checks are required. RCM is simply the layer on top of all that. Theme parks dont have those first two layers because every ride is unique and it would take a lot of work to put together models for all of those. The other the issue is that those industries, especially aviation, are notorious for introducing new standards after every near miss, thereby making everything safer

    Stupid advising greedy. They forget theres more than one type of intelligence and these people have the most basic type, ‘book smarts’. I say that as a teacher and someone who knows a fair few McKinsey employees

    McKinsey is the absolute worst. Corporate fat cats call them for one reason: to increase the stock price so that the millions they earn in stock each year continues to go up. The execs and McKinsey couldn’t care less about the customer experience or employee well being

    Given how they seem to be always behind some of the worst traits of both governments and industries, like their advices towards ICE, I think it's safe to assume that if the 3rd Reich was still in place, the McKenzie firm would help improve the final solution with glee.

    You know I played cyberpunk when it first came out and scoffed and wrote it off as silly and something that would never happen. I played it again a year or so ago and all of a sudden it feels like we're racing towards that, it feels almost prophetic.
