This isn't just the scamming internet randos, it goes into pretty high level business consulting.

"We just hired a company that has never worked in our field who doesn't employ anyone who has worked in our field to tell us how to work in our field better than we do today, this should be great!"

They always act so shocked that the consultancy did them zero good after giving them a few months.

The consultants are literally a place to blame for mass firings or restructuring. Most of the time they recommend changes management wanted but couldn't say out loud since it would spook shareholders. It's dumb but it's how the majority of the consultancy grift works.
