I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter man -
I worked for one of the consultancies just below the UK big 4 in the early 2000s. Some really bright people there and most of my colleagues were fine, it's just the partners (who took most of the profit) who were total knobs. I moved to a much smaller consultancy and my career really took off after that, it was a much better culture and I got to do more interesting work working more closely with senior client staff.
This guy's management style is going out the window in many organisations now and thank god too.Comment

And working remotely as a consultant is fecking hard work and tough mentally, and that's with a supportive spouse and no kids.
God knows what it's like if you don't have one but do have the other."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."
