I thought CEOs commanded wildly exorbitant salaries because they were super smart and made all the decisions. Why would a consulting firm exist?

Do this, do that, now go back the way you started. That'll be $155 million. Be sure to smash that Like button and don't forget to Subscribe!

On the other hand, they're grifting Zaslav, who is possibly the worst person in show business, so...maybe let them cook.

And if you are wondering why the German military is being made fun of so much: it's McKinsey again. But no worries, we took care if it. The minister of defense in charge back then is long gone. Cause she is the president of the European Commission now. Multiple of her children have worked for McKinsey in the past. What a coincidence!

So, this bastard and Zaslav are the reason I can't watch older seasons of Expeditions Unknown on HBOMax. Fuck 'em both.

Why are consulting companies so successful? Is it all connections? Their role in appeasing investors by external intervention and change (no matter how useful)?

I think it was Last Week Tonight that covered Mckinsey's consultation history and, shocker, they almost always recommend increases to executive compensation.

All consulting is like this. It’s a way to offload blame for your decisions by not making any in-house.

Their new company split is not splitting Warner Brothers from Discovery though. They are splitting the company in a different way.

Business consultations always look like such huge grifts. Here is the reason why they are so expensive though: many times startups and companies that take consultation fail and declare bankruptcy and don't pay the consultancy fees they were supposed to pay. So they charge others extra to (over) compensate. I wonder how they justify their existence, probably by coming up with some made up statistics about how they make many companies more successful. I am pretty sure they are also behind AI enshittification by suggesting companies to jump on the band wagon.

I don't know who this person is but something tells me he is the son of a wealthy family who has connections to all of those brands.

How far off am i?

That job does not sound like a real job, it sounds like a job title that is a thinly veiled excuse to arrange perpetual exclusive socialism for the rich.

Thank you for reading my analysis, the bill, regardless wether i am correct is about 69.420mil

It's not the conclusions that are important. It's how snazzy the PowerPoint presentation is. If you pay them more, there will even be bar charts.

I wish I could be paid that much to be wrong all the time.
