"Yes, but I would be out of a job as well".
My theory about why McKinsey is so popular among "JCs" is they tell the "JCs" what they want to hear. Example: Volkswagen AG. VAG has several vanity brands, as well as three mass market brands that compete against the VW brand. VAG is in a significant financial bind. So, what do they do? Lay off tens of thousands of production workers, offshore Golf production to Mexico, but they keep the vanity and redundant brands, each with it's own pile of administrative overhead.
Decades ago, I saw a meme about "the happy, productive, worker". The company saw that the worker was happy and productive, so they started adding layers of administration "to help him". The pile of administrative overhead grew larger and larger, until the company was in trouble. In response to the financial bind, they laid off "the happy, productive, worker", while keeping the administrative overhead.
