Wow. Couldn't resist this one. This is some over-the-top environmentalism. Imagine the millions of polar bears the average consulting firm slays on an annual basis.

What's wrong with operational work? Why hate?
Just curious, why do a lot of people on this form look so poorly upon "execution and project management" and operation work?
