Description
Bain told Jenny Rae on day 1 she'd be pushed out if she didn't perform. What they conveniently left out: almost everybody meets the bar.
Up or out isn't the brutal filter most people fear. In the early years, it's a deliberate scare tactic. The real pressure comes later, when you have to cross from analytical work into managing.
In this episode of Consulting Unpacked, Jenny Rae breaks down why up or out culture exists, what it's actually protecting, and why she became one of its biggest advocates.
