Death by a thousand layoff rounds. If the goal was to destroy trust, crush morale, and keep everyone looking over their shoulder, it’s a masterclass. McKinsey’s culture is at rock bottom

Morale at McKinsey feels like it’s at an all-time low. Ongoing layoffs have gutted internal teams, leaving those who remain fully checked out. Senior leadership seems totally disconnected, asking for updates from teams that were eliminated months ago. Consultants are more stretched than ever, leaving less time to develop the judgment, client skills, and problem solving that once defined the firm. This place is quickly becoming a relic of the past

Anyone else applying everywhere and hearing nothing?

Sourcing some crowd wisdom. I have an IPhone 12 Pro Max. The battery is shot and so been contemplating getting a new 17 pro max. But people are telling me to wait till September when the new iPhone is released. Should I wait? I have some overseas personal travel coming up and would like a better phone camera and reliable battery but is it worth getting a new phone right now? Thoughts?
