American made me check a Briggs and Riley Intl carry on! They had a crazy woman standing at entrance to security forcing people to put bags against the size checker. I'm never flying American again!

Potential solution. Next time offer to take the pink tag for gate check. Lift your briefcase or backpack but it on the handle. Cover the tag with you briefcase or backpack. Remove tag prior to making it down the jet bridge.

I had this happen to me with American a bit more than a year ago (with my trusted bag that has flown 1million + miles with me). It fit in the sizer, but they claimed that if you got on your knees and look straight at the line the side was about a half inch wider... needless to say I have not stepped on an American plane ever since, will connect before flying them.

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.
