📰 Layoff or Payoff? McKinsey offering 9 months of pay to leave the firm

The consulting world's feeling the heat with client demand cooling off, leading to a bit of a squeeze on hiring, pushing back start dates, and even nudging some staff out the door. Now, stepping into the spotlight is one of the industry's headliners, McKinsey, who's joining the likes of Zappos and its big parent Amazon, along with SAP, in the "please take a break on us" bandwagon.

They're offering their U.K. crew a sweet deal of nine months' pay plus extras like career coaching and help finding their next gig. And guess what? They're rolling out the red carpet for their U.S. managers too, as reported by The Times of London.

Why is this important?

McKinsey & Company offers management consulting services to businesses, governments, and institutions and are one of the ‘Big Three’ or MBB (McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, and Bain & Company). Collectively, they are the world's largest strategy consulting firms by revenue. When they start making cuts, it’s a signal for the rest of us to keep an eye on.
