McKinsey & Company

fuck this shit. how many more lives do we need to lose before we wake the fuck up? saurabh kumar laddha, 25, jumped from the ninth floor after a grueling day at mckinsey. a few months later, anna sebastian perayil, 26, worked herself to death at ernst & young. two brilliant minds, two futures gone, all because these corporate fuckers can’t stop squeezing every last drop out of their employees. let’s not bullshit ourselves—these consulting firms aren’t saving the world. they’re not curing cancer, and they sure as hell aren’t solving world hunger. they’re making fancy powerpoints and throwing around buzzwords to justify their obscene fees. and the way they do it? by grinding young talent into the ground. “you can work at night. that’s what we all do.” that’s the toxic crap they’re feeding people. since when did destroying your mental health become a badge of honor? these firms dangle prestige and big paychecks like a carrot, luring in the brightest minds, only to chew them up and spit them out. here’s the kicker—these same fuckers wouldn’t pull this shit in other countries. they know they’d get sued or face real consequences. but in india? they’ll use their influence to brush it under the rug, just like they did with saurabh. a few weeks of fake concern, some empty promises about “employee well-being,” and then it’s back to business as usual. this isn’t work culture; it’s a death cult. these firms are sacrificing young lives on the altar of corporate greed. and for what? so some ceo can add another zero to their bonus? so the partners can buy another vacation home? let’s call it what it is: corporate manslaughter. these companies are killing our youth with their insane demands and toxic culture. and they’re getting away with it because we let them. we buy into their bullshit about prestige and career growth, forgetting none of that matters if you’re dead. how many more people need to die before we say enough is enough? how many more mothers need to write heartbreaking letters about their dead children? how many more dreams need to be shattered before we realize this system is fundamentally broken? we need to ask the tough questions. why are we letting these companies treat people like disposable resources? why are we normalizing 80-hour work weeks and celebrating burnout like it’s some sort of accomplishment? why are we letting these corporate vampires suck the life out of an entire generation? this isn’t just about mckinsey or ernst & young. it’s about a whole fucked-up system that values profit over people, that sees human beings as nothing more than cogs in a machine. and it’s about time we broke that machine. no job, no project, no deadline is worth a human life. period. these companies need to be held accountable, and we need to stop glorifying this toxic bullshit. long hours aren’t a sign of dedication; they’re a sign of a broken system that’s killing us. it’s time for real change, not just empty promises and pr spin. because if we don’t do something now, how many more saurabhs and annas will we lose before we finally say “no more”?

Hi everyone, appreciate your input on this. Domain: Health sector YoE: 2.5

As I am reading articles on LinkedIn about this 25-year old's suicide, it seems more and more like the corporate version of Sushant Singh Rajput's death/suicide. It is extremely sad that people are trying to milk this and gain some views / increase their reach. It is doubly sad that people are nonchalantly calling him "weak" and trying to pin the blame of his weakness on educational institutions, family, office etc.. I would like to pose the same question which was posed at the end of the movie Bhakshak: "Doosron ke dukh mein samvedansheel hona bhool gaye Hain kya? Kya ab bhi hum apni ginti insanon mein karte hain, ya khud ko Bhakshak Maan liya hai humne?" Absolutely gut wrenching, how low people can get with these issues.

Does anyone have any insights into the type of projects, culture, WLB etc. in the Big 3 Management Consulting firms in India, especially in Bangalore? Thank you.
