McKinsey are not genius, but just overconfident men who know just a hammer, and that hammer is just cost cutting at all costs. When things finally blow up, they have long gone back to their ivory tower, so they are simply cowards never having to bear a single ounce of responsibility, more like the term is not in their dictionary period. They benefit either way whether the company they advise goes up or down. They are maggots that feed from companies downward spirals.
Look at Boeing. That's one zombie they feed on.
