are acting as if he was running the place. It is a disingenuous argument. A twenty-something straight out of school is a nobody in a big organization.

....until they get settled.

Remember, he was only there for 2-1/2 years right out of college, he didn't exactly make a career out of it.

Bashing him for those 2-1/2 years in his early 20s is ludicrous.

It was a response to another argument that was just as lacking in awesomeness.

I didn't even allude to such a thing.

Curious.

...but so is context.

Bernie did not have a full time steady job until he was 40, that left his young son on public assistance. I don't think that's good for the sake of purity.

scrubbing toilets at MickeyDs have been humble enough?

Also, that is a pretty shitty attitude towards the human beings that do the tough, grueling, necessary, and thankless work like ‘scrubbing toilets at MickeyDs’.

Come to think of it, I actually would be more impressed with Mayor Pete if he had scrubbed toilets rather than do some bullshit job like consulting.

As a highly educated young white man just out of college, he had a lot more choice in the matter of where he could work, unlike that individual who may be scrubbing toilets at MickeyDs.

He chose to work at McKinsey.

Davis Polk & Wardwell before quitting. They are making conspiracy theories up about Buttigieg.

If he rises in the polls, it will happen.

They were technical professionals addressing a technical issue in our operations. It had nothing to do with destroying Unions or gobbling up other companies or any other evil plot you can imagine.

We always joke about how little they know. Upper management hires McKinsey to validate decisions they want to make.

There is no way that I will use such people today on my own accord. I would rather hire a retired engineer, at least I would have confidence that he or she could give worthwhile input.

I can't believe Democrats are engaging in it.

... you know .. the one who thought he would be an automatic front-runner and was badly disillusioned?

You are so right: new associates do grunt work and research. They do not write recommendations for clients and do not have a say in which accounts they get assigned.

What people are missing is how hard it is to get a job with McKinsey. It's known for being one of the most highly selective employers in the world. The fact that Buttigieg was hired by the firm is an amazing accomplishment that people are using to bash him.
