"John Oliver Exposes the Invisibility of Management Consulting Firms"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Guardian
John Oliver criticizes management consulting firm McKinsey & Company for its questionable clients and practices. McKinsey, known for its low profile and high prices, has advised companies like Purdue Pharma and oil companies, as well as public entities like New York City's Rikers Island. Oliver highlights conflicts of interest, such as consultants working for both Purdue and the Food and Drug Administration simultaneously. McKinsey's involvement with the Saudi government and its creation of a list targeting dissidents also come under scrutiny. Oliver argues that consulting firms should be held accountable for their actions and not allowed to operate invisibly.
