Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "McKinsey: The Company that Poisoned America" video.

Recently I heard a comment about which institutions had done the most damage to America and it was Harvard, Yale and the University of Chicago. McKinsey was founded by one and populated by the other 2. And lets not forget where Pete Buttigieg got his work experience.

@st-ex8506 I lost contact with most over the years but reconnected with a bunch of them via LinkedIn in recent years. It was fantastic to find out how many have some incredibly successful careers. I've just never had the opportunity to go back and spend any real time catching up which has been horribly disappointing. The ideal time would be homecoming, but that time of year just never seemed to clear up because of projects. I either had money and no time or time and no money. So its been frustrating. One year my college basketball team played a post season tour in Australia. The first I heard about it was 2 months after they left. I wrote to the Athletic Director and asked why they hadn't contacted me and NOBODY contacted any of us. They all assumed somebody else would inform us. I didn't know if I should scream or cry.

@st-ex8506 Not certain where you are coming from. I spent 3-1/2 years in America going to college and getting a degree in aerospace engineering and at a top engineering school only to be repeatedly shat on by idiots in HR and who gave the world HR. I FKING HATE McKINSEY, KPMG and the rest of shit advice brigade. Who the hell do they think they are unleashing a pack of clowns who decide the fate of people's careers without any understanding of what people actually do in their job. If HR is so FKING fantastic at getting the right people in the right places for the right reasons then why are so many businesses reliant on tax evasion to make a profit instead of just being profitable? Why are so many projects in both the public and private sectors so badly managed if McKinsey, KPMG and the rest are so FKING fantastic at their job? Australia's NBN was supposed to cost $20 Billion. Now its over $52 and still counting. Snowy 2.0 was supposed to cost $4B and now is budgeted at over $12B. Chevron's Gorgon gas project went $15 Billion overbudget and Wheatstone over $3 Billion over budget. ENI Darwin still not up to design spec. Mining projects left right and centre late and over budget. And everywhere you look there are consultants handing out advice and charging crap loads for it. I can tell you from personnel experience how they totally FKD-UP our car industry where I used to worked. I've seen what they do in mining and oil & gas as well. We called them seagulls because they fly in make lots of noise, SHIT on everything and fly off leaving a mess for others to clean up.
