'I get knocked down...' | Amid job cuts, McKinsey & Co blasts Chumbawamba & Eminem in bid to boost staff morale

Bosses at McKinsey & Co, in a bid to raise morale after a period of upheaval, pumped music from Eminem, Bob Marley and Chumbawamba into employees’ ears, according to reports.

The consulting firm recently made the upbeat move at an internal event taking place in Copenhagen.

The company has undergone a spell of upheaval in recent weeks, with hundreds of jobs on the chopping board. Where possible, bosses have made efforts to alleviate the uncertainty and stress that accompanies mass redundancies.

For example, hundreds of managers at the company’s UK office were recently offered nine months' pay upfront, not in an effort to persuade staff to stay, but in fact, to vacate their roles.
