I once worked with some McKinsey consultants who were pretty sharp, at least in a theoretical way. Being the consument lightweight its mystifying how someone like Pete could worm his way into a noted consultancy like that. I mean, what kind of customer would pay those very high labor rates for his “expertise”?
In the consulting world you live and die by your knowledge and skills. Pete exhibits no such attributes.
He has two obvious attributes, laziness and the ability to talk and say nothing.
Those who can do, do.
Those who can’t, teach.
Those who can’t teach, become politicians.
No, but his symbolic value is outstanding. It is like ‘Chock-full-of-nuts Coffee’ making Jackie Robinson an executive VP when he retired from baseball. Did the slugger know anything about business or the brand that hired him. No, nothing. However, black people in New York liked to consume this brand and Robinson’s face on their advertisements was worth many times over his salary in saying CFN Coffee was the pro Negro brand of coffee. Same for this zero, it says to the highend business community that McKinsey is ‘loud, woke and proud’.

Gotta bump up your DEI rating somehow.
He was getting his résumé checked;he was being setup as the first homosexual president. This was the best that they could do?
