Thank you for your support!
Thanks for sharing the story! I had a very similar experience, and until this day, I think I didn't get fired because I was only an intern.
Although knowing my boss wasn't mad at me, I figured out later that I've never fully regained his trust.
My saddest day as an intern
haha, that's probably not the reason - being an intern/ early in the career, we probably spend more than 50% of our time worried about being fired
Wow nice story to learn from.Thanks for sharing!🙌🏻
Hey Angie, I got to know you because youtube logarithm send your McK experience sharing to me!
I would say I love your authenticity, your thoughtful sharing and always straight to the point too!
Hope there will be more storytelling like this. I feel this is so much closer to reality rather than keep it at the high level and/or just a context that widely acceptable by public.
Thanks for making this video. Have a great CNY celebration 😄
Hi Edward, thanks so much for your kind words! Really appreciate and will def. keep it real!
This is Leadership in action!
def! good leaders are hard to find
Lol that is not leadership at all man, I hope that was sarcasm. This is not how good leader give constructive feedback, that too on first mistake.
Why is he only giving you 1 evening's notice to prepare for a supposedly super important meeting? Poor management and organisation on his part! I wouldn't work for any manager who dumps on his team rather than empowering them.
Due to the nature of the project (it's usually extremely short with lots of scope), it's always high stress and tight timelines
@@missangielu External clients can be ridiculous in terms of demands but I still thinks its poor management at the McKinsey end as they should either be pushing back or hiring more staff. Either that or cut your salary and give you a better quality of life. Choose your own poison 🙂
What a toxic work environment
Actually quiet contrary, I still believe in general, mckinsey has a really nice and supportive environment
@@missangielu Drank the MBB cool aid? Although there was great mentorship, nobody should deliver feedback that way. It's emotionally manipulative, hyperbolic, and not constructive. Alternative -- "I've noticed some areas in your work that I want to help you with. If you improve in these dimensions, the path toward promotion will be much smoother."
@@mar_man813 i agree. Fir him to say I’m very disappointed. It’s definitely not the right way to correct.
@@mar_man813 eek ya sounds v manipulative
No one can sustain 60+ hours a week doing something other people ask of you
They're just buying your time
Hi Angie!
Be my mentor? 😶
Shameless, I know.
haha - i don't have time right now atm, but maybe in the future
@@missangielu I appreciate the soft let down haha 😋! Hey thanks either ways! Love your hello hello hello videos 😄
