What they do
One good thing about being a freelance and sitting on my own all day, talking to myself, is that I never have to come into contact with management consultants. Gary McKeone wasn't so lucky, but he at least gets his revenge in the form of a very droll op-ed. He and Toby Young should team up and devise a reality TV show involving bound and trussed apparatchiks from McKinsey
