    She spent 2 yrs at McK 20+ yrs ago - hardly a personality-defining milestone, given how a lot of business students start their career in consulting.

      I mean that’s pretty standard for a McKinsey ghoul:

      • Step 1: go to an ivy league college, get a business degree
      • Step 2: work for McKinsey for a few years as an associate
      • Step 3: get a job at a McKinsey client leapfrogging everyone else into management/c-suite
      • Step 4: hire McKinsey to bring their arrogant children into your org and screw things up

      Everything about her subsequent career has been going from one upper management/c-suite role in a tech company to another. This is not the resume of a person who should be running a nonprofit that controls the most important open source project on the internet. But beyond that just look at what she’s done in her one month at Mozilla:

        1. Massive round of layoffs
        1. “Focus on {buzzword}” where {buzzword} in this case is AI

      That’s straight out of the McKinsey playbook.

      You rarely stay very long in those companies nowadays. Unless you aim at becoming CEO in 20 years’ time. But otherwise, you just get your golden parachute after a couple of years of doing horrible shit.
