McKinsey: The Group Secretly Running Every Company (And Government?)

[@joecummings1260]

I got fired from a job as the head mechanic for a trucking company 30 years ago. The CEO said that I wasn't working hard enough. He said that all the previous mechanics were rebuilding engines, transmissions, drive axles, etc all the time and that I wasn't doing that. I wasn't doing all those heavy repairs because the trucks were not breaking, they were all out on the road working. Stupid me, I thought I was there to reduce breakdowns.

[@serafinacosta7118]

So you invested your staff into preventive maintenance , which in itself saved the company on expensive repair bills. And through some twisted logic these consultants told your boss you were expendable. What a bunch of leeches. And your superiors where idiots in taking such advice.

We had a small company in California that made Sports Nutrition products, especially powdered drinks. The first time we flew back to Tennessee, we were both shocked at the unbelievable facilities this company had, and all of its lettered employees. And here they were hiring two guys with a startup company in California to do fairly simple, but creative work they could not accomplish themselves.

[@QTheThird]

I work in government, and I work frequently with consultants. I can tell you that the primary reason that they are used is because if employees or even management have recommendations, neither the public nor elected officials will be willing to accept those recommendations unless they are verified by a consultant. You can be saying for 20 years that a particular change needs to occur and no one will take it seriously, but once a consultant comes in and says the same thing, it's taken as gospel truth. I think the same thing probably happens in private companies as well; shareholders (and CEO's by extension) just won't take action based off of the recommendations of their employees unless a third party comes in and makes the same recommendation. 95% of the time, the consultant will just come up with a report that pretty much says exactly what the organization wanted the report to say.

I was a Manager for Walmart for 10 years. On my 10th year I was told my salary had Topped Out and that I would get no more raises. I was then offered the job as a District Manager. Instead of being over one store, I would be responsible for up to 7 stores. If I took the job I would be eligible for raises again. I would take the District Manager job while on my single store manager wage. I asked them if I took the District Manager job would they bump my store manager wage to the District manager wage. Amazingly my current wage as Store Manager was the wage for District Manager. So my wage for one store would now be the wage for seven stores. I said nope and left after 2 weeks. Walmart was shocked I did not accept their forced proposal. A few months later they sent 2 home office suits to interview me and take me out to lunch. I said no need. You told me I could no longet get raises in my current posistion, so I left to be a store manager for another company that does not top out wages. Walmart still uses the wage top out policy to this day. My family member had her salary top out and worked for 7 more years for Walmart with no raises in wage, until she retired.

I love when this sort of thing gets revealed. ????? How about doing a story about how food shelves and food banks really work? A lot of people, even food shelf workers, mistakenly believe that large corporations kindly donate their products to food shelves (via the big regional food banks like Second Harvest for redistribution to local food shelves) out of the goodness of their hearts. In reality, what happens is that the Farm Bill provides for an "enhanced" fed tax credit equal to cost + 50% of retail value for items "donated" to food banks. This form of tax credit means the corporate food suppliers actually are getting paid (just like the former child tax credits issued checks) amounts that are probably pretty close to what they would get by selling their products to retailers. The bonus for these corporations is that this is a profitable way to unload products that do not sell and that are close to the sell-by date or even significantly beyond the sell-by date. Some corporations even package products specifically to go to food banks which are heavily processed and filled with cheap unhealthy ingredients no one would choose from a grocery store shelf. Because corporations in this country have a mandate to increase shareholder wealth above all else, unless these companies are actually making a profit from "donating" products, they could actually be sued by their own shareholders. That is why they make sure that every "donation" benefits their bottom line and that is why food shelves are full of unhealthy, heavily processed products with inferior ingredients that contribute to chronic health problems like diabetes, obesity and heart disease, and many are also past their sell-by dates. Let's stop pretending these corporate food giants are being nice to the food insecure and expose what that they are making money off of the most vulnerable members of our population. As an example take a look at the fabulous new Second Harvest food bank building in the Mpls suburb, Brooklyn Center (" A guided tour of Second Harvest Heartland's new Brooklyn Park facility" on YT) that has Cargill, General Mills and Target logos all over it, despite the fact that the MN taxpayers spent over $18 million on this. The fact that these corporations control these food banks is obvious and they are controlling them because it is profitiable for them. Second Harvest makes it sound like there is a lot of fresh wholesome food, but that is NOT the case; it's almost ALL unhealthy processed food. It is NOT the case that over 60% of their product assortment is fresh (lean protein and produce), as they claim. The other catch is that these food bank packages are NOT forwarded to local food shelves free of charge; they have to pay huge delivery fees and the lightest weight, cheapest foods to get delivered are processed foods. The public has a right to know what is really going on with this scheme. At the very least, the government should not be giving these enhanced tax credits unless the products meet health and freshness guidelines.

Right? I'm trying to get a gleening and grow a row program going for our local food bank, and the legalese and regulations that I'm trying to wade through make my brain hurt. Idk if I can make this happen. Because as things stand now, everything collected has to go to a central distribution center, and then will be sent out to smaller local food banks. So everything from either a gleening or grow a row program would have to be collected, driven across my state, and then we might get some back, or we might not. And that's not something my local community is going to be ok with. I could probably convince them that anything extra that our food bank doesn't need should go to areas that don't have as much support. But they want to know that what they collected and grew is going to benefit the family down the road that's struggling, and make sure that the kids that go to school with their own kids are being fed first before sending stuff off for someone else to decide who should get it.

When I was in banking we had a term that we were about to be McKinsey’d, layoffs and restructuring. I seldom saw any real benefit other than temporary cost reductions in order to prepare a bank to look good in a merger. Many mergers resulted in back tracking to older, less efficient technologies. I was laid off in one of these but redeployed to a new department. The most destructive change was the elimination of defined benefit pensions. For 19 years of banking, I receive a paltry $200 per month pension when similar public pensions would yield 10-15 times that.
