I’ve had the misfortune of working with these “top tier” consultant types.

Anyone who thinks they’re smart and effective communicators is an idiot who would probably sign up for Amway and Scientology in the same week.

Lowest common denominator: it’s easier to convince some corporate chump to buy a buzzword-drenched “solution” than to assess a situation in its full complexity. So a McKinsey partner is an effective communicator in a purely marketized sense, where “these words sound good” >>> “these words are true.” Fuck consulting.

Edit: If capitalism’s logic is about distorting qualities into quantities, then consultants are the evangelists of capital. McKinsey al paredón! :che-laugh:

Yeah, anyone who’s ever actually worked at the high levels of business/government where consultants are involved knows they’re worthless 99% of the time. If you ever want to pay someone five figures to talk in circles and meaningless platitudes for 3 hours, they’re your go-to though.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
