The unfortunate math behind consulting companies

There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.
I didn't finish this because it became pure nonsense. These are very American issues, and blown way out of proportion. I stopped when the article said they get 12 days of work per month, which is down to poor management.
Where I work we have 31 days paid leave a year outside of sick leave and we see substantially more than that. This is an example of poor people management.
