I've heard that curing internal myopia is a top priority for McKinsey this decade. Focus is on broadening gender/age/economic background and also broadening professional experience backgrounds.

They're hiring and developing a lot of top talent in "hard skills" (e.g., not MBA's) across different industries. From what I've been able to tell, it's paying off a lot with strategies that are grounded in reality and catching things that non-technical people would miss.

Really depends on the team you get assigned to your project though, as with any contracting/consultant situation.

Oh, glad McKinsey is going to ruin the psychology of a bunch of LGBTQ people with 80 hour work weeks while they union bust foreign nations. You aren't developing shit when every single person you hire leaves after 2 years, don't astroturf this garbage here.

What kind of weak political literacy do we have in America where agencies who literally aligned themselves with tyrannical oppressive dictators who behead rivals and loot the wealth of their own population get an ounce of room to "change" and represent "more diverse opinions". (Spoiler warning, it's one where everyone in power secretly agrees that profit triumphs over any other possible motivation)

Do the 80 hour work weeks not ruin the psychology of non-LGBTQ folxs?

Right, that's why the GP is sarcastically saying how awesome it that they're now going to expand that ruinous treatment to more people by hiring more minorities.

It's a tongue-in-cheek comment, not a serious statement regarding psychological resilience.

It was sarcasm, and yes.
