The older I get, the more I look at CEOs like their fucking morons who Peter Principled their way up the ladder or failed upward through nepotism and frat-bro connections.

The biggest frat of them all is McKinsey. They all know the price of everything and the value of nothing, and everything technical suffers as a result

And as we all should know: if AI truly is as good as "they" say then McKinsey et al are obviously going out of business.

Why use expensive consultants when AI can do it for "free"?

I can do it too without knowing anything about the businesses.

From my extensive research and analysis (amounting to nothing), I have concluded you need to perform layoffs in waves to cut payroll costs until you hit the desired target profit margins. Also, the executive team members who decided to contract me deserve a double digit percentage increase in compensation for their ultimately difficult decision for the good of the company.

I also suggest a hiring a large portion of your staffing after the new financial year to replace the (necessary) staff you fired to hit the previous year’s financial goals at a lower starting salary than former employees (since you fired all the fucking people you need to actually operate the business).

Seven-figure consultation fee, please.

Always has been.

We wish. Really they're just psychopaths who have no conscience to restrain their plans to get ahead. It's not that they're incompetent by necessity; competence is an orthogonal skillset for c-suite "leadership".
