  1. Mckinsey Withdraws from Russia after Alumni and Employees Criticize the Firm’s Stance McKinsey & Co, like many other corporations, is withdrawing from Russia after receiving sharp criticism from its former and current employees for moving too slow in cutting off ties after the invasion. What is the story? Consultants to CEOs and governments globally, McKinney said it would cease to work with state- owned entities and not recruit new clients in Russia. The new policy goes beyond Bob Sternfels’s stand in his LinkedIn post on Sunday. He said McKinsey would stop working only government entities. After the assignments are complete, all client services will be suspended. According to the spokesperson Graham Ackermann, the office remains open to support staff in the country. As per Bloomberg News, McKinsey, in a memo to its alumni, said that the firm had suspended service in Russia’s regional and local government offices even before the war started. McKinsey was

Sternfeld’s earlier statement had left options open for the company to work for Rosneft and Gazprom PJSC, the Russian energy giants. Mckinsey employs more than 700 employees and has worked with 21 out of the 30 most prominent companies in Russia for the last 30 years. Oleksandr Kravchenko, managing partner Mckinsey in Ukraine, and other alumni said that all corporate offices should shut the doors in Russia. His social media post, which was a departure from McKinsey’s official policy, received 4300+ positive reactions. Sternfeld was called to close the Moscow office, which had been in operation since 1993.
