According to anonymous sources familiar with the matter, McKinsey's management is discussing with managers of non-client-facing departments a plan to lay off approximately 10% of their workforce, with thousands of positions expected to be phased out over the next 18 to 24 months. This move aims to address industry changes by cutting costs while accelerating the integration of AI technology to improve operational efficiency. McKinsey has previously laid off over 5,000 employees globally and continues to evaluate positions that could be replaced by AI, with the possibility of further layoffs in the future.
